   Our reservation was at 7pm on a Saturday night. We walked in right at 7pm and were immediately seated. I loved the brick walls and the ambiance of the place. Our table was cozy but we had plenty of space for everything. Our waitress was outstanding! Her service and her recommendations were perfect! We had the World Famous Sicilian Pie (2 slices…okay 3 slices) and the Shrimp Fra Diavolo (ordered it a little less spicy). Both were delicious!! We barely had space for anything else but decided we needed to try their World Famous Spumoni and their Homemade Tiramisu. Again, both were soooo good!! I normally don’t like tiramisu because it usually had a strong coffee overtone but this one was light and wonderful! I highly recommend making a trip to check this place out.

   We took the ferry from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to Dumbo. It was a very pleasant ride a a very short walk to the Spumoni Gardens. Pizza was great, as expected and the food and wine were even better. We will do it again and often.

   This restaurant was the epitome of average. Lots of hype no real substance. It was definitely loud. The ambulance is terrible as it looks like my grandmother‘s basement from the 1970s. I feel like this restaurant will cater to people that have no idea what real Italian is like.

   Casual, homey / traditional Italian American spot with some of the best pizza there is. The Spumoni special is their Sicilian slice--perfectly crispy bottom, perfectly gooey middle, and unique cheese and sauce. Just get 2-4 slices of Sicilian and call it! Don't waste valuable stomach space on anything else

   From the beginning, from Chalie replying by text to my lessage about needing reservations for 12 family members coming from out-of-town to gather for 2 birthdays for a 13 year old to a 31 year, this experience was incredible for lunch yesterday. I called shortly before to add 2 people and ask for birthday desserts. Jack and his staff were outstanding. Family from California said they would be dreaming about the Sicilian pizza for a long time. The food and dessert - deserves best Brooklyn & NYC pizza honors! So good and so fun. Thank you!!! Clearly after over 80 years, they know what they're doing.

   Our first trip to the new location in Dumbo. Let me reassure anyone who might be concerned - the pizza is excellent and is exactly the same as at the original restaurant! Everything else was great too, and with the typical large portions, so the price is also right! The new spot is smaller, and the vibe was very friendly and welcoming. Of course, don't forget dessert - after all, it is Spumoni Gardens.

    We made a reservation for 7:45pm. We arrived at 7:40pm. But we were not seated until almost 8:30. What's the point of making a reservation if you are going to have to wait that long for a table.
