Italian for 'kisses and hugs', baci&abbracci's Neapolitan-style pizzas and "fresh", "homey" dishes merit the trip on the L. The white-washed walls of this modern Williamsburg trattoria boasts a small bar, while the sun-kissed garden is an "enticing escape." Neighborhood folk love the bread, mozzarella and pasta which are made fresh daily. Your first order of business: Ordering a Peroni or glass of Italian wine. Then dig into belly-warming dishes like calamari, red beet and goat cheese gnocchi, and wood-fired pizzas (Time Out New York's Best New Pizza Joint 2007) . Finish off with the torta della nonna, with custardy sabayon, chocolate cream piping, and crushed, toasted pistachios. As delicious as the food, is the "exceedingly friendly" staff.
"We have been there numerous times before and have had great servers. Last week we had a female who wasn't friendly at all. We had never seen her before. There are many other restaurants to go where servers are much better. If we go back I will not have this particular female be our server."

"They are very accommodating because of their lovely staff. The food was amazing and my friends have felt the same. My dinner party was awesome because of them."

"What can I say? Wood fired oven pizza, which was light as air. Homemade pastas were divine, desserts were great. You got to go here. Grazie di tutto e ci rivediamo presto."

"The waitress we had was very personable and knew the specials and menu. Her suggestion on what to order was a big hit. I am a picky eater and found your food great. The only thing I would suggest is that you may have items for children which would make dining easier. Other than that good luck."

"Baci and Abbracci was wonderful and we can't wait to go back. We are new to the neighborhood and are sampling all of the great restaurants in Williamsburg. This is definitely one we will go back to often. The menu is large enough for anyone to find something they like to eat. We had fish, salads, mussles and pasta and everything was delicious. Don't skip the bread - it is real Brooklyn style bread - crunchy on the outside and light and fluffy inside. I beleive they make it at the restaurant. The staff was friendly and knowlegeable. The decor looks like the restaurants all over Rome - very mimimally decorated. We did not have the pizza which apparently they are known for. We will definitely have that on our next visit."

"BE CAREFUL with your Credit cards here!!!! the group i was with all put in our credit cards and asked to be split. The waiter still charged my card the entire amount and the split amount. this restaurant held up $600 on my account for 5 days, they would not release it and worst of all when i called to ask for help or speak to a manager they said the manager cant help and tough luck. this was the worst experience ever! they have no customer service or appreciation. don't go to this place with a credit card."

"The restaurant is small and unassuming from the outside; however, the staff was very friendly and service very good. The food was very good. We went for Easter Sunday and had the prix fixe menu. The Tiramisu for dessert was yummy. The drinks (wine) were a bit expensive but got a good deal on the brunch Mimosa. There were a lot of young people (but middle-age like me too)."

"It was my first time at this restaurant and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was very good. They had affordable yet very decent wines. We were happy with the service overall. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. The experience would have been nicer, if one of the servers didn't rush us out. (It was my birthday!) But, to her defense, there was a long line of people waiting for tables. I would definitely go again."

"I came here a couple of times many moons ago. Tried it again recently, and it wasn't what I remembered. It was still good, but I'd remembered it as better. Still... you know. Good."
