Bensonhurst Italian Chicken Parm for Two

Ortobello brings Italian American comfort food to 6401 Bay Parkway in Brooklyn, with a family run setup, a warm atmosphere and an old school feel. The small dining room keeps things intimate, a snug setting for a meal built around familiar cooking and conversation across the table. Traditional Italian flavors lead the menu, with the focus firmly on a sit down meal.

The chicken cutlet parm is sized to feed two people, an invitation to split the main with someone across the table. Start there when the evening calls for a familiar plate and room to share, without building an elaborate order around it.

Open Tuesday through Saturday from half past four PM to 10 PM and Sunday from 4 PM to 9 PM, the restaurant stays closed on Monday. That earlier weekend start leaves space for dinner before the working week begins again.
