The Scene – Everyone knows that adage about judging a book by its cover, but the same could be said about judging an Italian restaurant by its dining room. Though this restaurant's decor--white-washed brick, Edison bulbs and aluminum chairs--reads like a retreaded Lower East Side plot, don't be fooled into thinking that the menu has nothing new to offer. – – The Food – The kitchen stands out from a tired genre by marrying old-world flavors with forward-thinking twists.

best pasta on th l.e.s.

by lesmogile

i own a place in brooklyn i have been to Tre several times and have brought my folks as well and random friends and every time the food has been excellent, the service excellent. the music - the air temp of the place to every concern for us feeling welcome and satisfied has always been looked after. not catered to or ass kissed but as it should be - open, honest and very relaxed. i really like the price fix 3 course option during the week. for 19 dollars you are well satisfied and in these economic times it is a welcomed comfort for the patron looking to get out and not spend a fortune on a tiny plate of decoration that other places offer.

dont read too many reviews. just go and try it for yourself. opinion are just that.

  • Pros: great food. relaxed atmoshpere. reasonable prices
  • Cons: no grey goose. man i was craving a vodka tonic ..

Just Like My Grandmother's Cooking

by Lexyprin

Loved this place. Since moving here a week ago, I've eaten here at least four times. It is my "go to" place now - whenever I want to impress friends with fabulous Italian food, without pretention, I take them here. The meatballs are just like my grandmother's and the appetizers are to die for - every one of them is worthy of a write up. I've had sevceral dishes here and end up just raving throughout the meal about the food. Gino, one of the owners, is always on hand to make his customers feel right at home. Love this place.

  • Pros: Incredible meatballs, arancini, eggplant, pasta
  • Cons: None

  • Pros: warm staff
  • Cons: none
