" I adore Lillo Cucina Italiana! It's a classic hole-in-the-wall Italian spot that offers comfort food that truly warms the heart. When I walked in, it was bustling with local flavor and aroma. I devoured their eggplant parm and caprese salad, both were outstanding. The portion sizes are generous for what you pay, so you certainly won't leave hungry! It’s a cozy setting designed for sharing good food and great moments. " (*Curated Review*)

" An authentic Italian experience right here in Brooklyn. The first time I visited Lillo, I was enamored by the variety on offer. My fettuccine was immaculate, and the perfect portion size made it so satisfying. The only slight disappointment was the lack of public restroom facilities, but that's easily overshadowed by the fantastic food. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" A friend recommended Lillo's and wow, what a treasure! I had the seafood linguine and it was delightful. Warm, friendly service only added to the experience. The menu might be small, but don’t overlook any dish. They all scream quality. I would love to return, just a bit tricky to find seats during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" The charm of Lillo Cucina is something I've rarely encountered! I was blown away by their mushroom pasta and tiramisu. The atmosphere is small and intimate, perfect for a cozy evening. Yes, cash-only policy can be a hassle, but the quality of the food absolutely makes up for it. Can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lillo is one of my favorite places to enjoy a cozy, authentic meal! I love the atmosphere there; it feels like a family-run business where the food is cooked with love. The ravioli was delightful, and don't skip the tiramisu. The price is excellent for the quality, especially in New York! Will keep returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great time at Lillo's. The pastas are just as good as they sound! I had the seafood linguine which was packed with flavors, and the tiramisu is out of this world. The only downside I noticed was that it's a cash-only establishment—and there is no restroom—so plan accordingly. Even so, I'd go back in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every bite at Lillo was delicious! The food tastes homemade, capturing true Italian flavors. It's cash only, but don’t let that discourage you. I had a rich mushroom pasta that I would recommend to anyone. The owner is also super friendly and creates a great dining atmosphere—even if the tables are a bit tight. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
