Be the first to ReplyMy brother works in Brooklyn and had been meaning to try
My brother works in Brooklyn and had been meaning to try Popina for a while. The idea of fusing Southern and Italian cuisine intrigued him, and since I was off from work the other day we thought i was a good idea to meet up for dinner. I'm not too familiar with all that Brooklyn has to offer, so I was excited to check this place out. Popina is unassuming from the outside, and the somewhat simple aesthetics continue after entering the restaurant. It's not a large space - there is a banquette to the left with tables set up, and a large bar to the right which has additional seating. I'm assuming there's a backyard area since some people were being led there after we were seated, and several reviews suggest so. There's a mostly grey color scheme with lots of clean lines and minimal decor. The menu isn't large, but there's a good variety of apps, pastas, and mains. But first, drinks; I ordered a mezcal margarita which was smooth and had great flavor. For food, we decided to start with two apps: the arancini and the stracciatella. The rice balls were served traditional style sprinkled with cheese and came with marinara sauce on the side. They were tasty but their marinara was slightly too acidic for my taste. the stracciatella was good too - it was paired with asparagus, peas, and some light greens which complemented the creamy texture of the cheese. I wanted to try their pasta as a main - the orecchiette stood out to me the most so I went with that. The dish was good - the pasta was served al dente and with pesto sauce and also contained fava beans. I admittedly did not get the most Southern dish on the menu, but there was definitely a good representation. My brother got the pappardelle with braised ham hocks which I tried a bite of and really liked. For dessert they only had two choices: cheesecake and panna cotta so we got both. The cheesecake was noting too outstanding IMO, but the panna cotta was great. When I attempted to order a coffee with dessert I was informed that they don't serve it - kinda strange and something to keep in mind if you're dining here. Service was great, everyone was friendly and the food came out at a good pace. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Popina. I wouldn't necessarily hike it out to Brooklyn just to dine here - this is more of a neighborhood spot from my perspective. However, if you are in the area this is a great option with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere.
Be the first to ReplyGreat vibe, excellent cocktails.
We visited when there was a visiting chef and the several dinners we've had there are very good. My wife raves about the duck though I haven't had it. Would recommend. Get a reservation to guarantee a spot--not many seats.
Be the first to ReplyWhat a great place for high-end, seasonal, Italian-inspired
What a great place for high-end, seasonal, Italian-inspired cuisine. Try one of their unique and delicious apps, try not to eat too much of the fresh-baked bread (and fail), and follow it with homemade pasta or a whole fish (to share). The always-changing wine selection is steps above most Brooklyn restaurants (and that's no insult to Brooklyn restaurants--they just really know their wines). Be sure to book on the weekends, this place gets busy.
Be the first to ReplyCame here with a group of friends.
First off it's a little hard to get to but once here warm and inviting atmosphere. We started with a variety of cocktails, all of them were very nice. For first course we tried the crispy corona beans, a big hit with everyone. Winter chicories salad, had an excellent anchovy dressing, I would buy a bottle of that. Everyone went nuts for the charred prawns, great flavor and lastly the fish crudo, the sauce was amazing. Second course we had 3 pastas, all delicious, it's hard to choose a favorite between the spaghettini with clams, agnolotti with braised duck leg or bucatini alla gricia. Last course we tried the long island duck, cooked to perfection and excellent sides. Black garlic bavette was also cooked perfectly, we all really enjoyed the sauce and the side potatoes were fantastic. But I think the crowd favorite of the night was the whole branzino fish! We paired our meal with a wonderful red wine the waiter recommended. Then to finish we had cheesecake, rich and moist. The panne cotta was some of the best I've had, it was smooth, creamy and lemony and the currents added a little hit of tart. Great meal experience!
Be the first to ReplyGreat dining experience - food, wine, service all 5 stars.
Can't wait to come back soon!
Be the first to ReplyMade a reservation for two people on a Wednesday evening
Made a reservation for two people on a Wednesday evening for their outdoor area. Not overly decorated but a nice atmosphere nonetheless for a quiet dinner. Concise menu of several Italian dishes, as well as a large drink list. Decided on the Hot Chicken Milanese ($28) and an IPA ($9). The chicken is flattened and thinly breaded - not dry, lending well to a bit of lemon juice. The side salad is overly bitter, not helped by the dressing. Had to order dessert as well, getting a slice of the Chocolate Chess Pie ($10). Incredibly rich, cut by a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Great flavor that's not overbearing in sweetness. Service is good and the ambiance outside is welcoming. Nice spot for a slightly upscale dinner.

The rest of the backyard: 20 somethings that were born with more money than I currently have. Us: Two mid-30-somethings with a gift card. The vibe here was snobbier than I expected, and although the backyard was telling me it was casual dining, it felt like it was an oversight that led me to be invited to this party. Although we had a reservation and it wasn't a busy Saturday night, the hostess first tried to sit us next to the kitchen and air conditioner. The table service was excellent. The appetizers were overpriced (3 arrancini for $12 and a small panzanella for $18), I'd skip the arrancini if I went back. The hot chicken milanese staple on their entree menu was a fun spin on southern cooking. I'd reccommend going here with someone who likes to share, so you could try a couple different dishes. (The hot chicken is a big dish, easy to share). I also enjoyed their Chocolate Chess Pie, which hit sweet and salty. But for me, this falls in the middle ground of Italian restaurants in gentrified Brooklyn neighborhoods. And the prices are pretty high/similar to others. It's a nice place to go if you want somewhere fancy and off the road after walking through Brooklyn Bridge Park - sit in their backyard with a Spritz and expensive pasta dishes. But I probably won't be returning any time soon.
Be the first to ReplyAll the dishes we got were tasty.
Beautiful restaurant, great service. Definitely recommended sitting outside in the back.
Be the first to Reply3.5 stars for what I thought was a good, but pretty
3.5 stars for what I thought was a good, but pretty average, Sunday dinner. Of the notable things, they had one of the best glasses of chilled red wine I've had in awhile. So good that I actually wrote the name down for later. Additionally, the egg & anchovy toast was a sleeper hit. Tangy, creamy, herby, spicy, salty, sweet... it had all the flavors on top of a very good slice of bread. The lemon posset dessert was also solid, a nice light palate cleanser. The fettuccini with ramps was glossy and saucy and best when you got an actual bite with ramps. Then of course we had to try the hot chicken Milanese (it was fine) and the arancini (sadly they tasted like hot rice and that's about it). So, all in all, it was a decent meal, and I think has the potential to be really good if they perhaps stray away from the items that have been on the menu forever and allow themselves to create and innovate a bit more.
Be the first to ReplyWe made a reservation on Resy for 8:30pm and weren't seated
We made a reservation on Resy for 8:30pm and weren't seated until after 9. We could see that diners had paid and were just allowed to slowly sip their wine well past their reservation. We also were left on the street to wait. It wasn't until we reminded them we were still waiting that they revealed there was seating in the back the whole time. Food is good but just plan for the small space.

Hard to get to, but worth the trek! The pastas and schnitzel are musts!

Fast service. Friendly staff. Super tasty!! Hot chicken Milanese was awesome and perfect level of spice. Rigatoni was flavorful too. Arancini appetizer not worth. Great spot
Be the first to ReplyWe loved the Octopus and the rigatoni on our first visit.
The pasta was very good. The chef really tries to be creative and combine unusual ingredients together. On our second visit however I was less impressed by the arancini. The spaghetti was great too.
Be the first to ReplyGenuinely the best Italian restaurant in a neighborhood
Genuinely the best Italian restaurant in a neighborhood rich with fabulous Italian restaurants. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes, but my standouts have been the hot chicken Milanese, the pappardelle with ham hock, and the olive oil cake. Only place they could improve is the appetizers, but not a big deal there. Overall, my favorite restaurant in Brooklyn. Don't miss it.
Be the first to ReplyPopina is capitalizing on the success of Cafe Spaghetti.
If you would like to open a restaurant the Columbia Waterfront District is the place to do it. The space is tiny, as is the menu. The decor is bland (to say the least) and the portrait on the wall is Popina's answer to the Mona Lisa. So let's begin. I ordered a glass of Nebbiolo to pair with my Arancini appetizer. The Nebbiolo was very average and the Arancini could have been decent had the Chef not splattered honey on them. I wasn't sure if I was eating Rice Balls or Struffoli. For my next course I ordered a glass of Dolcetto to pair with my Maltagliati. The Dolcetto was decent as was the Maltagliati. This is a one time experience for me and I wish everybody on Columbia street lot's of luck.
Be the first to ReplyFantastic dinner at this unassuming little place- don't let
Fantastic dinner at this unassuming little place- don't let the scary wolf/dog logo scare you, the food and atmosphere was warm and inviting with amazing Italian food with a Southern touch.Our group of three was seated outside on the patio behind the restaurant (while it was a warm evening when we went, they had the heat lamps situated and ready to go.) For appetizers, we ordered the arancini and anchovies. The arancini's crunchy exterior with the warm, rich center of rice-y goodness were delicious- only one per person though so savor it! The anchovies (filets of anchovies served atop a potato in cream) were delicious, kindof like a deconstructed anchovy gratin but I wonder if the cream took away from the anchovies a little? For our mains, we are decided to get PASTA! We ordered the gnocchi, maltagliati and spaghetti. Everything was cooked to al dente perfection of course, and the flavors really packed a punch but in a subtle way. My spaghetti had bits of kabocha squash in it, and was surprisingly very hearty.Dessert was a slice of chess pie and olive oil cake shared between the three of us. While the olive oil flavor was a bit too strong for me (I mean, what did I expect, right?) so it wasn't my favorite but the chess pie... divine! Service is very friendly and attentive. Curious to see if any more tinned fishes (Chef McDade's specialty?!) make more appearances in future dishes. Sardines spaghetti? Some smoked mackerel? More appetizers featuring anchovies?! yes please!

Was left extremely disappointed with my experience here - dishes were small (arancini appetizer, hot chicken milanese, maltagliati) and underwhelming and we found the service to be somewhat pretentious.The outdoor space was nice, but we certainly will not be back despite living right down the street.

It's the first time didn't take pictures of the food during the meal, we couldn't stop eating. Love the hot chicken Milanese, arancini, pasta tastes good too, and the service was perfect.
Be the first to ReplySo driving home, trying to avoid the nonsense at the
So driving home, trying to avoid the nonsense at the tunnel, I head over the Brooklyn Bridge. Traffic is a bit more than usual, so I snake down Adam Street and turn left on Columbia street. I pass Popina, Yelp it and decide, what the heck looks. Ice let's drop in. A small place, six seats at the bar and 20 table seats. Now this is described as a wine bar and the wine list is quite extensive I order the champagne at $25 a Glass. Pinot noir savant l'ouverture nv. Wow! Delicious. For dinner they have a pork chop on the menu. With peaches, chicory and fennel. It's 16 Oz. And it comes quickly. Really quite good, but has a lot of fat. Which I always avoid. So that's a bit disappointing. I'd say 1/2 the chop is fat. Inedible I also order the filone scape butter. And while cutting the bread, a big piece rolls off and boom hits the floor. Oops!!! My bad My waiter, Zack, ever watchful comes right over and asks if I'd like it replaced? Yes please! Ok so far the food is good except for the fat, which I let my waiter know. (He'll let "them" know). Ha He asks how I like the scape butter, it's new, and yes it's great! I order another glass of that delicious champagne! The champagne is more than making up for the fat! What fat!?? Ha ha Well not sure about dessert. No espresso on the menu!. So ok what can you do?Let's give them the benefit of the doubt! 4 stars. On loan..,, btw the big draw to this place is the stunning back yard which I only discover at the end of my meal. Ok so next time Outback!! But... I end the meal with a delicious chocolate chess pie. It's covered in extra virgin olive oil. Really different and scrumptious. Zach has thrown in a glass of

This was the perfect end to our anniversary weekend in the city. Food was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for a warm summer night. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcomed.
Be the first to ReplyExtraordinary Restaurant.
We enjoyed every aspect of the experience. We had the tasting menu that was perfected pared with wines. The standouts included the foie gras which was just incredible. Also loved the farm to table greens in every dish. The shrimp and scallop appetizer on bed of baby asparagus was incredible as was the sea bass. The Foie gras on chanterile mushrooms also incredible. They should have a Micheline star for sure. And the staff was so friendly and helpful and just happy to please. Can't wait to return!
Be the first to ReplyGreat outdoor space to hang out in.
Came here in the early evening, and it felt like eating on your friend's backyard patio in the best way. The food is also solid, and the pastas are appropriately hearty. Really enjoyed their signature ham hock pappardalle, even if reminded me more of some strange Italian-meets-the-Carolinas fusion. Will be returning!

We had a party for a "significant" birthday in the private room that Popina maintains down the street from their restaurant. Charming "Brooklyn" space with excellent and copious food served family style by friendly and skilled staff. Everything was excellent. The lamb ragu and squash and burrata stood out. Would highly recommend for private parties
Be the first to ReplyWe were very disappointed in this restaurant considering it
We were very disappointed in this restaurant considering it had 4.5 stars out of 75 reviews. Both my pasta and my husbands pasta were undercooked and kind of chewy. The flavor was something I felt like I could've made myself. Just not great and honestly very pricy for what it was and the portion size. The wine was very good though. It was a chilled red. The ambience and outdoor seating was lovely also, so it's really a shame.
