Good pizza
by boowdzr at Citysearch
I have had the privilege of obtaining this minor jewel of a pizzeria. The charges are outstanding for delivery or carry-out. The pizza quality is pretty excellent provided the very low finances busting price tags. I would highly recommend this pizzeria as a superior pizza with a super worth.

Great casual Italian
by Lostfan69 at Citysearch
First of all, if you’re interested in pizza, my review will not be helpful - I haven’t had pizza here or anywhere else for several years, so I can’t comment on Il Brigante’s pizza.
But if you’re interested in other dishes Il Brigante has to offer and are looking for a casual dining experience in this area, I would certainly recommend it. The place is rather small and cozy with simple unpretentious décor. Because the place is small and busy, it can get pretty noisy, especially when neighborhood regulars come with kids, so I would not recommend it for a romantic date.
The food is fresh, delicious and simple in the best sense of this word, it has a home cooked feel to it. I usually stick to salads and secondi piatti (fish and chicken). Everything I’ve tried has been excellent.
Here are my all time favorites:
Burrata appetizer - this is the most creamy, silky mozzarella you have ever tried in your life!!! It’s not on the menu but it often makes an appearance as a special.
Cauliflower side dish – oven-baked cauliflower with béchamel sauce. OMG, I start salivating just writing about it. I get it every time I come here. It’s a must.
Spaghetti alla Carbonara – I try not to eat pasta… on a rare occasion when I feel like “cheating,” I get this. It’s perfectly al dente and absolutely delicious. Totally worth breaking the “low simple carbs” eating regimen
Grilled seafood special – get it when they offer it. It’s great (and healthy too )
And last but not least: desserts… Tiramisu is great. But what can I say – I’m simply addicted to Il Brigante Cassata. It’s not a traditional cassata layer cake but rather an individual tart of almond paste filled with ricotta. Irresistible.
The service is friendly and attentive. Staff does a great job navigating in this small space and being there for you when you need them.
Al l in all, a very enjoyable dinner experience in a relaxed friendly atmosphere. Perfect for friends going out or just for having dinner when you don’t feel like cooking at home.
Best pizza ever!!!
