" I've been to Lillo several times and it has become one of my go-to spots in Brooklyn! The pasta here is exceptional; the flavors are true to Italy. Try the chicken milanese if you get the chance; it’s tender and lovingly prepared. Just keep in mind that it’s cash only, which can be slightly inconvenient. Overall, I've had nothing but fantastic meals here. " (*Curated Review*)

" There’s something magical about Lillo's atmosphere combined with its authentic food! My friends and I visited and shared the lobster ravioli and tiramisu, both exceeded expectations. We appreciated the handmade feeling of the dishes, but the cash-only requirement was a bit of a downside for us. Still, can't rate this place anything less than 5 stars! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I stepped into Lillo Cucina Italiana, I felt like I was back in Italy. The cozy ambiance resonates with authentic Italian charm, but it's the food that steals the show! I tried the lobster ravioli, and it was to die for, swimming in a rich pink sauce. The service was warm and welcoming. My only complaint is the limited seating; we had to wait for a table, but let me tell you, it was worth it! If you’re in Brooklyn, do not miss out on this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lillo Cucina offers an authentic Italian experience that is hard to find! The atmosphere is small and inviting, and the food is obviously crafted with care. Their sauces are out of this world—my personal favorite is the cacio e pepe. Do keep in mind to bring cash, but trust me, it's worth every penny spent. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious Italian food that made me feel like I was dining in a grandmother's kitchen back in Italy! We were fortunate to grab one of the few tables, and the service was warm. I tasted the gricia and a strawberry tiramisu, which was heavenly! The only downside was the cash-only policy, but the prices compensates for that small inconvenience. Highly recommend Lillo if you're near Cobble Hill! " (*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*)
