My friend and I visited this establishment on 7/2/21. It was my first time here and I was in for a real treat. We welcomed by our server John who was amazing! We started off with our drinks, bread , and our starters, I had a glass of Chianti which was a great glass, we both had the fried calamari, prepared to perfection, we had the casear salad which tasted a little bitter to out palates, then each of us got a slice of the famous sicilian pie, which was absolutely out of this world delicious. Then our entrees came, my buddy had the rigatoni bolognese and I had the spaghetti carbonara, which was prepared differently, we both enjoyed our dishes. I was told to end my evening with a cup of their spumoni, which was creamy deliciousness, I have a little critique about the spumoni, I have had spumoni which consists of chocolate, vanilla, cherry, and pistachio ice creams together. Other than that everything was spectacular! Definitely check out L & B Spumoni Gardens, It's Highly Recommended! Tell em Charlie sent ya!

loved this pizza! had the "grandma" style, Sicilian with the cheese under the sauce. the texture of the crust was a bit chewy, which I loved! the sauce was also a bit sweet but I loved that too! the cheese was not the star of the show, you could barely tell it was there but that's because it was all balanced so well. I could have stood more cheese but it was really perfect the way it was. I loved this pizza! people like to mention di Fara's whenever talking about Brooklyn pizza so I will say I love their pizza too but it is completely different from Spumoni Gardens. I love them both!!! try this place for a classic experience - it's super good.

I've been a loyal customer since 1965 and can no longer be. Ordered Chicken Fettuccine in Alfredo sauce with an order of sausage parmesan with onions & peppers. When I received the food my fettuccine was not al dente, (raw not done). My wife's sausage was over cook, no onions or peppers very little cheese, no sauce as well . When I returned with the food for replacement , again IT WAS ALL WRONG. NO CHICKEN IN THE PASTA EVEN WHEN THE ORDER WAS FOR CHICKEN ALFREDO!!!!!! made a call to the Manager who told my wife I was suppose to mention chicken?, he was not Italian. When the manager spoke to the person who took the order he had to speak to him in Spanish. The manager proceeded to put the blame on us, how about that! Not to say that only Italian people can cook pasta but some body needs to know how to cook Italian food, if your place is saying that it's Italian. If not then the people in the place should understand how to cook pasta or sausages because you never know when your preparing a meal for a CHEF!! This was the third time in the past year that a meal from L & B was not cooked correctly. BETTER BACK IN THE DAY WHEN ITALIAN PEOPLE WORKED IN THE KITCHEN OR PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT AND HOW TO COOK FOOD! SORRY GUYS YOU JUST LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER.

L&B is known for their square Sicilian style pizza, unusual in that they place the ample amount of mozzarella cheese under the sauce, rather than on top. It is delicious. They also feature homemade ices, their specialty being spumoni, a combination of chocolate, pistachio and almond. They have always had lots of outdoor seating and also have a full Italian restaurant on the premises with excellent food. A Brooklyn landmark!

I never thought a simple cheese Sicilian could make me so happy. There hasn't been a single person I've brought here that hasn't craved a slice after, even the meat-eaters love a good cheese slice from here. My bestfriend and I would come and order a full tray. We can only handle two slices each but we know we have to take the rest home for another day. We put them in freezer bags and warm them up whenever we want a slice. STILL AMAZING!!!
