Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Brooklyn

Excellent food and outstanding service by Jeffrey ! Very attentive and rapid. We loved it.

Excellent food, sevice, and atmosphere, as usual! Great meal.

Heading to a concert at the Kennedy Center (it's a very easy approach to Foggy Bottom), we tried Claudio's Table out for the first time. We ate early and got to watch the restaurant fill up with a broad range of families and couples from the neighborhood and elsewhere, bringing a real nice ambience. The food was fabulous: fried artichoke with a green salad started things off beautifully, like being in Rome. The linguini with lobster tail, on a light red lobster infused sauce (a special) is among the best dishes in Washington (et Voila's Norwegian sole is another). Our other dish was the linguini with clams. My wife and I shifted our platters back and forth, with help from staff when they saw us treeing to balance the dishes. Wine was lovely and the lemon cake dessert was a brilliant combination of layers. The portions were also perfect (not too big, nor too little) and we stayed awake through our concert.

The food, service and ambience were phenomenal! Our server was kind, courteous and professional and his timing was impeccable. He knew the menu well and offered insight on the menu items. Our party of four enjoyed each selection. The serving sizes were generous. We enjoyed a lovely evening with Oleum and will definitely be returning.

Food and drinks were great. It was a little loud with the piano and a couple of large groups but will definitely be back!
