The cocktails are incredible. The food is good. I just feel like this whole tiny, cocktail-centric, eat-at-the-bar, small-plate restaurant thing needs to pass. If I eat any more charcuterie I might turn into a terrine.

[...] made clear that the cocktail menu is the star of the show, and it was commenter Johnny0 that mentioned the Improved Whiskey by name. Great name, and it lived up to it. Rye, absinthe and some other [...]

Beretta is one of my favorite neighborhood gems. The food is astonishingly good and the hand-crafted cocktails are fun to explore.

So I just came back from a dinner with my family at Beretta. It was better than I expected, but expensive. The house drinks were OK … OK enough for someone to walk home 10 blocks and recite the same three lines from Rush Hour 3 over and over again.

So I ended up there a few weeks ago during the last evil heat wave. Our goal: to eat a snack, get a little drunk, and do it outside while someone else served us. We ended up here, and accomplished our goal. Prosciutto pizza was good, while not the best pizza of my life, and definitely not filling enough for an actual dinner, the bottle of white wine we polished off was good, if not great, and the servers were nice.

I’d go back, but only on such a night, I think (like the evil ones we’re having right now) that I needed an outside snacky/drinky experience.

Been there 3 or so times – a worthy replacement to LSC.

The pizzas are solid, and I really enjoyed the appetizers, especially the eggplant or any of the bruschette. I didn’t think I’d enjoy the mixed drinks as much as I did. I looove the Improved Whiskey.

Long waits, but the bar is big and the communal table is fun. And I love that it is open late. Why do Americans insist on eating dinner so early?

was there the opening night. the food is tasty for sure, but the drinks are hit or miss. service was erratic at best, I chalk that up to the first day jitters.

They don’t take reservations (unless you have 6 or more) which means the wait time is around 30 minutes.

average meal for two with drinks comes out to be around 80 bucks before tip.

oh yeah, kurt cobain is punk rock.

I have been 3 times now in various states of sober. It is really pretty fantastic and the food is miles better than last supper. The drinks are good but I can’t get into $10 cocktails, I stick to the fine beers that they have and a nice pizza, you really can’t lose there.

I live about a block away from Beretta but still haven’t been. My lady has been and can’t stop talking about the prosciutto pizza…
