I cant applaud them loud enough!!! I bring all the friends and family I can find to Tempo. I recommend them to all of my clients. They are the standard that all restaurants should be reaching for. They are the prize of Brooklyn that has all of the Manhattan eateries pea green with envy.
As for the specifics, I love the duck pastilla rolle - -both spicy and sweet at the same time. Next I love to have the Pappardelle with Ragu of Wild Boar - -the pasta is like no other in freshness and texture, the Boar, is mild yet rich and delicious. I think that I have had every entree they offer and have never been disappointed with any of them. The pork chop and the lamb both stand way out in my mind, but they are often more food than I can enjoy after the previous courses. So I most often choose one of the fish dishes for the entree.
The staff is unparalleled in both professionalism and knowledge. The service is full, with out being intrusive. The atmosphere is elegant, and as private as space will allow. The furnishings are rich, warm and comfortable, easily able to accommodate a party of any size. We had our entire family there for Thanksgiving dinner, a treat for sure, and now our new tradition.
Pros: excellence across the board
Cons: parking in the area can be tough if you are one of those who drive
