Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Bensonhurst

I have been here several times and the food, service, atmosphere and overall experience is consistently awesome. The prices are actually reasonable for NYC which makes it even better. I will continue to come back during the week and on the weekends when there is a nice party vibe later in the night.

The menu choices were excellent and so was the taste. Ambience although a little noisy is very nice with excellent service levels. I am a reasonable regular to Pera for the above reasons and would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for tasty Mediterranean cuisine.

I love this restaurant! Great food drinks and service. The DJ was engaging and played great music for the crowd

I was really surprised at how good this place was, being as no one I know had ever really heard of it. It is a Gem to be sure. We were able to get a table for 5 at 7pm on a Friday a week or so in advance, which made me wonder why...but everything was delicious! To start we shared burrata, octopus, cauliflower and tune tartar - all were fantastic especially the cauliflower. Mains were the tagliatelle with bolognese (best Ive had maybe?), cacio pepe (great), branzino (weakest link but still fine) and the pork chop milanese (brilliant). The budino for dessert was terrific. Service was tough to do well in the noise, but the pace was great, the service squad moving like a machine, and the guests all seemed to be having a great time. Prices were not silly. No question we will go back - and you should try it if you havent.

I had an awesome time at brunch. The food and service was really good! The owner even came over to greet me. I’ll definitely be coming back!
