Bar Camillo

I enjoy their range of Negronis; the Upstate Negroni in particular. Anna is an excellent bartender and server. The food is bomb! Meatballs, cacio e pepe, or pizza.....you can't go wrong. 3

I didn't go in here for years because the front bar looks like a tight squeeze at a glance, but glad I finally stopped in here! Out back has a nice intimate dining room as well as a sort of half outdoor backyard area. The foccacia seems to be divisive but I love it! Crispy and different. Pizza options are really good here, somewhere inbetween personal size and one to share, which is a little challenging. Love this spot though.

So I’ve been three times in two weeks-alone each time: one for take-out, one seated outside in front and once on the back patio. Speaking of the patio, someone from Vogue recently gave a review, which was good for publicity, but didn’t share the details about what makes Bar Camillo a gem. The staff is friendly, inclusive, and hospitable with a hip, modern Italian vibe. Meantime the menu is rooted in tradition-the ancient style “pinsa” or Roman pizza with fermented dough and traditional toppings, eggplant parmigiana (which tasted just like my nonna’s or as good as any I’ve had in Italy) and traditional pastas. Some innovative cocktails at reasonable prices, a selection of good wines and beers and you really can’t go wrong here. Take-out lasagna was delicious and still crisp on the edges. I showed up in the rain and asked for a martini while I waited, which they got a kick out of. The sidewalk seating is stylish with covered separates “covid booths” and a couple of high-top tables. Patio also dent cozy and is mostly enclosed with a fabric ceiling, plants, and a natural wood and brick vibe. Come here for a cocktail and a snack (I recommend a negroni and the anchovies in buttered bread-the famed Recca anchovies of Sicily) or split a pinsa and a glass of wine with a friend, chat up the friendly staff, and plan a trip to Italy ASAP.

My recent move was made better by finding Bar Camillo. Convenient spot with extraordinarily friendly employees. Each item delivers big flavor. The workers create such a welcoming environment. This appealing spot was found during my internet search.

Neighborhood-y upscale pizza place (think Saraghina or Robertas) with a wide variety of negronis. Dependable and always makes for fun for people spotting. Avoid the wine, though--the list is a let down.

Good local bar with great cocktails and bartenders! Downstairs there’s a little club space with a quality sound system. The DJ on Saturday was excellent, and I would check out the music more if they bring DJs like him back!

Was just here for a baby shower and am still thinking about that decadent eggplant parm. The drinks packed a moderate, satisfying punch within an ambiance that exemplified a rare blend of elegance and welcoming comfort. Best of all, the staff were all warm, efficient, and attentive, even and especially with the littlest guests. Hope to be back soon!

My lord, I stopped here quickly while passing through Brooklyn and I was blown away. Service was impeccable, it was like a small town coffee shop yet a bar. Everyone knew each other, and it was just so chic and nice. Food was insanely good and had some of the best pizza ever in my life. As someone with a huge appreciation for pistachio ice cream, theirs ranks second on my favorite pistachio ice cream ever ! And I’ve had a lot lol. For only 27 (before tip) this was amazing, you can’t find that price anywhere anymore.
