About Us
Amorina Cucina Rustica is a beloved, casual Italian restaurant located in the heart of Prospect Heights on Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn.
For 14 years we have been serving authentic, Roman-style thin crust pizza and hearty pasta dishes—all sourced from local and organic ingredients. The menu showcases our dedication to Italian tradition and to the season, with carefully selected weekly “Will to Live” pizza, pastas and salads. We maintain a close relationship with a local farm coop to obtain fresh produce, upon which we base our weekly specials. Our menu choices are driven by balancing the classic Italian flavor palate, using and showcasing the seasonal elements, with a desire to constantly challenge ourselves and our customers with fresh profiles. We are excited to collaborate with our staff to suggest and execute new flavor profiles.
