Bar Madonna

I really like it here! The cocktails are all unique and delicious and the food hasn’t disappointed yet (we’ve had oysters and a salami plate). Sometimes when we go it’s empty so the bartenders are a bit slow and distracted talking or on their phones but 🤷🏼‍♀️

Had a great dinner last night at Bar Madonna. We kept it pretty simple with the oxtail croquettes, honey wings & the romaine salad. All 3 were excellent and worth ordering, especially the oxtail. For the mains, we did a couple of the smashed meatball parts which were awesome. It’s definitely One of the best sandwiches I’ve had in recent memory. I always order fried chicken sandwiches everywhere I go, and I didn’t love this one. It’s pretty good, but after the meatball parm and oxtail were so flavorful, the chicken wasn’t quite what I was expecting. the French fries are well seasoned, crispy and absolutely delicious, make sure you get them. We had a bottle of red from piedmont which was good and I tried the sparkling pet nat white which I enjoyed as well. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and I emailed them that morning to add one person to my party and they were able to accommodate me, which I really appreciated. It’s a great looking space, attractive crowd and the music is at a nice level to still be able to talk and have a fun time. I’m really looking forward to coming back!

We scored a table late on a Thursday night. The bar is swanky and cute, with great interior design and personal touches like the illustrations on their dishes. We arrived to low-lit restaurant/bar with vibey music and a fresh new menu. The cocktails were great. The Apollonian was citrusy Smokey punch and the Limoncello Milk Punch felt so special. The Stracciatella was a delightful surprise, while the Calabrese was a spicy hot wing that made me wanting more. For mains I had the Smashed Meatball Parm which DID NOT disappoint. The fries had great texture and the sandwich was so flavorful it left me wanting more. We topped it off with the delightful Cannolis that was crunched and sweet.

Found this place on a whim, and had a great time! Was open late with food served until closing which was a pleasant surprise. The cocktails and food (ordered olives and fries) were all delicious, and the service was great. The music was a little loud, but overall vibes were perfect for a fun night out with friends!

My partner and I had the most EPIC dining experience here last night. For drinks we started with the Piña Pazza and the Apollonia. Both were so tasty but the Apollonia had us both addicted and we reordered it multiple times. Love love love the super fine orange zest rim! Please leave this cocktail on the menu indefinitely. For food we started with the oysters and they were fireeee! The giardiniera mignonette really complimented the oysters without masking the flavor. Next we had the Oxtail Croquettes and I thought I was going to lose it. They’re almost too good. I thought about getting another order of them but we already had more food coming. Next up we got the Grilled Baby Romaine salad. It was my partner’s idea to order this and I could’ve gone either way, but once I took a bite I was like WHAT! How is a salad this good?! The tomato confit, wild boar bacon and whatever the dressing is really make this salad so delicious. The fries were perfect but OMG the truffle aioli ARE YOU KIDDING ME. Possibly my favorite aioli I’ve ever had. For our mains I had the Crispy Chicken Agrodolce and my partner had the Herb Crusted Lamb Chops. I am not super into lamb chops normally but these were cooked perfectly and the salsa romesco and horseradish were chefs kiss. The chicken sandwich is a must order. My suggestion is to ask for extra truffle aioli and dip the sandwich in it. The flavors of the sandwich are so good on their own but I want to dip absolutely everything into that aioli. We finished with the cannoli trio for dessert. I love that each cannoli has a different flavor and that they're not overly sweet. The service here is amazing. Thank you so much Ricky for taking care of us all night. You’re a gem! Rob was really wonderful and personable as well. The host was very welcoming and there was a very vivacious server, Matt, who was very fun to chat with and brought such good energy to the space. The aesthetics of the place are beautiful - the color they painted the outside of the restaurant is gorgeous, the massive hanging lights at the bar are so dope, and the bathrooms are my favorite (weird thing to say but they’re stunning). The plates are really cool and a unique, personal touch. Also, playlist was on point! Overall we had a phenomenal experience and we’ll definitely be back to order everything again… and more! Thanks again!

Some of the better bar food in the area. Good ambiance for drinks and service was fast/friendly. Would come back for the chicken sandwich. The fries needed just a tad more crisp/salt.

Absolutely worth the visit for the food, service, and ambiance ✨ Visited about a week after their opening, it’s down the block from where I live, and I am so excited to have Bar Madonna in the neighborhood! It’s beautifully designed, friendly but a little mysterious. Perfect for cocktails, dinner date, or a catch up with a few close friends. The food is delicious - the smashed meatball parm is THE must order, but it doesn’t seem you can go wrong with anything on their menu. The salads were great, as were some of the other small plates. I want to go back for the chicken sandwich. The cocktails were well crafted and the dessert - cannolis - was worth the extra $. Service was top notch. You can really see how much each member of staff and the manager care about your experience and the quality of the environment and cuisine they’re crafting. 10/10 Recommend and will be back!

Really warm and chic atmosphere with super personal staff. The interior is very well done and it’s easy to forget you’re on a somewhat busy strip because of the environment they’ve created. Our waiters were super friendly and even indulged us in conversation about childhood memories and more. We left feeling like we’d stumbled on old friends. The only drawback was that the person I dined with is a pescatarian so that left us with limited options. The Grilled Baby Romaine was excellent and so were the Garlic Fries! Otherwise the prawn dish was visually exciting but lacked balanced flavor and the Octopus alla Griglia was just meh.

This place is a winner for the following reasons: 1. The menu is small enough to hold yoiur focus and not be exhausting. Everything I've tried, from the sandwiches to the smaller plates, has been delicious. The cocktails are all superb. 2. The hunter green loungey interior invites one to linger. It is handsome and staid, dreamy and lush. 3. The staff are fantastic. The hostess on every occaison has been sweet and accommodating and while the servers seem very busy, you never feel you're not a priority. They are friendly and super-focused. The vibe is playful, festive, with a welcome streak of good humor. The second I finished a drink of water, the glass was re-filled. I like that this place is brand new but knows what it's doing. It is obviously from a very experienced team, and the team is good at what they do. I feel like I keep going to places lately that are buzzy and new but the funding came from *somewhere* and everything feels dizzy, even inept. Not so with Bar Madonna, there isn't a second where I didn't feel like I was in good hands, on every visit. Highly recommended.

This is a great spot with a great vibe. Highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area, delicious food & cocktails

I raved about this place the first time around but this time was a total flop. Our main dish was missing for the better part of an hour, and every time we asked about it, they said it would only be a few more minutes. The smashed meatball parm sandwich was missing a lot of sauce and tomato flavor, and the Caesar salad was incredibly underdressed. It was also so loud the server couldn't hear us without shouting, and having a conversation was a mission. Wouldn't come back after this experience

by far my absolute favorite space. I had a birthday party here and was blown away by the courtesy, hospitality, incredible service by all the wait staff and bartenders. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. Absolutely incredible vibe, music, drinks, food. Couldn't possibly recommend more.

One of my favorite new bars in Brooklyn. Amazing cocktails, bites, and ambience. Service was impeccable. They have DJs on the weekends which brings the vibes to a new level. Ask for Ricky at the bar! One of the best drinkslingers in the business

Bar Madonna is gorgeous and the vibes are spectacular. The drinks are strong and delicious. The staff is kind, beautiful and perfectly Brooklyn. But the food is not there yet. We came in for date night dinner and shared the fluke crudo, grilled baby romaine, octopus and the smashed meatball parm. The smashed meatball parm was great but everything else left more to be desired. To be blantly honest, the octopus should be avoided, it was salty and the presentation kind of gross. We love octopus and it's a must order for us when we see it on the menu so it was sad that it was such a miss for us. Look, we will be back for drinks at the bar and to stare at the pretty people but it might be some time before we are back for a full meal.

Solid meal with good service! Restaurant was a vibe and had great music playing. Favorite was the smashed meatball parm -- MUST get this!! Steak with fries was good as well but overly salty. And unfortunately I wasn't a big fan of the caesar salad.

Perfect date night spot with amazing food, great wait staff, and phenomenal drinks. Pictured is the arancini with vodka sauce, 10/10. Also pictured is the smashed meatball sandwich, 100/10. Can't wait to come back and try more of this amazing menu.

Croquettes Lacks flavor in the filling, the verde sauce was lethal in terms of parsley, I can still taste it, and the marmalade was unbearably bitter Wings No flavor other than burnt charcoal, vile Parm burger Salty meatball sub, a for effort Chicken sandwhich VILE, Soggy, dry The kitchen needs a new team. This place was gross, I'd say there's room for improvement but I doubt management would bother to make a change that LARGE.

I cannot recommend Bar Madonna enough! It was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. The cocktails were so unique and tasty that my party tried almost every drink on the menu. The Limoncello Milk Punch, the Apollonia, and the Zia's Lychee Martini were our 3 favorites. The Grilled Baby Romaine is a must; it's their take on a Caesar salad. If you like spice, you must try the Calabrese Hot Wings. The Smashed Meatball Parm melts in your mouth and the Strip Steak was perfectly cooked! The ambiance is cozy, the staff is approachable, and a DJ came out late night and played all the hits. I will be returning very soon!

WOW!! What an absolutely fantastic experience. Sitting at the bar, we had dinner and a show as we watched Rob and Ricky show off their bartending finesse. Started with some oysters, no hot sauce or mignonette but tbh didn't need it. Juicy Oxtail croquettes to follow. Meatball smash sandwiches, which were the mention in Infatuation that caught my eye (a tiny bit dry on first bite, but it's because I'm a red sauce ADDICT and my partner debated that I'm delusional). Straccietalla which made the PERFECT dessert but of course we needed the cannolis to follow. The cannoli shells were so fresh and crunchy. You can't go wrong with a single cocktail here and I foresee them being booked out VERY soon. This was their first Sunday open and quickly a neighborhood favorite. Also their dishes are adorable and apparently hold stories as well (pics of the owner, owner and partner, etc). Perfection to the most minute detail.

Incredible spot. The smashed meatball sandwich was amazing. Immaculate vibes, great drinks, excellent staff. Highly recommend

very good for drinks but the food was only so so. we got the parm sandwich honey wings and croquettes. definitely a good date spot though it's super cute inside

We recently ate at Bar Madonna and we were really blown away by the food and service! We loved the smashed meatball Parmesan and the Lamb Chops. The Caesar Salad was spot on and very flavorful. On top of that the drinks were excellent. We will be back and will bring friends.

The Godfather doesn't normally give a review for a place that is not on my collections list. My daughter went for a visit and said I would be impressed, snazzy interior, Kid Super artwork, great bartenders, and food that won't give you agita. Maybe we can move the captains meeting there. Can't wait to visit myself.

Always consistent!!! The service is amazing and the food and drinks are always off the chart delicious. Love going back!

this place was incredible from start to finish. our server Aaron was amazing and the owner Eric helped us so much choosing out the best dishes and cocktails!! you MUST get the oxtail croquettes and then meatball parm. unlike anything i've ever eaten in NY get the cannolis to finish. 10/10 ambiance!!

incredible new spot! highly recommend the Calabrian wings. Great atmosphere and staff

Great new place in town!! Bar Madonna! Loved the smash burger! NY Strip was cooked perfect! The atmosphere is beautiful! Everyone was really nice. The drinks are amazing! Very cool bar. I highly recommend you stop in for a great meal!
