Mozzarella Crown Heights - Brooklyn

I have conflicting opinions about this restaurant. The atmosphere is pretty cool, especially the back room, and Crown Heights is a great location for those wanting to explore beyond Flatbush. Now, let's talk about the food. The appetizers were impressive, but as we moved on to the mains, I was a bit let down. My group of six ordered a variety of dishes, allowing me to sample most of the menu. The mozzarella sticks were delicious, and the shawarma tacos were interesting and enjoyable for fans of Middle Eastern cuisine. The stuffed mushrooms were tasty but small in portion size. The cheese rice balls were excellent. As for the mains.... We ordered two grilled salmon dishes, with one being cooked perfectly and of high quality while the other was dry and disappointing. The Chilean sea bass was good but small for its price. The seared tuna steak was average. The truffle fries and mashed potatoes were delicious. The fettuccine Alfredo was excellent, but the penne Rosa was bland. The vegetable pizza was solid, but the pesto pizza was disappointing with too much pesto, making it soggy. The eggplant parmigiana was not enjoyed by one of us. Desserts included a good cheesecake, a flavorful peanut butter souffle, and a decent waffle. Overall, the experience was a mix of hits and misses in terms of food quality and flavor.

Update 2022: I am loving the new mushroom ravioli, it is absolutely delicious. Other dishes I highly recommend are the signature cigar rolls, the lox pizza, the breaded mushroom appetizer, and any of their drinks! The breaded mushroom appetizer is my personal favorite. The salmon was perfectly cooked.

My wife and myself really enjoyed our experience. Really appreciated the non tight seating set up, very stroller friendly. The waiter was really easy going and fast. Food is super fresh, large portions and tasty. Prices are extremely economical. Kudos to the operators of this establishment.

Excellent food and customer service, friendly and comfortable setting and pricing! Totally making it part of our favorite restaurant!

My family and I just enjoyed a great dinner at Mozzarella. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious, and came in a timely manner. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and has a pleasant atmosphere. I also greatly appreciate it being child and stroller-friendly. We are looking forward to trying the breakfast menu some time soon. Mozzarella, thank you for your great service!
