Macosa Trattoria

Great neighborhood Italian restaurant with a cozy atmosphere and a home-cooked vibe. Got a table easily on a weekday evening. Great drinks menu and they have a sweet Negroni selection. Try the Sbagliato! The food was delicious. We got the Rigatoni Genovese, which had a white ragu sauce with tender, slow-cooked wild boar meat. The fresh rigatoni mixed with that was perfect. The Oxtail Ragu seems to be a popular option here, and we got it with Gluten Free pasta. It was also good, although I found the Genovese to be better. The Meatballs were nice and fresh, held their shape and had great flavor. Tiramisu at the end was also super delicious and fresh. Great date spot and overall super good Italian food serving Bed Stuy

The menu says they can accommodate gluten free requests. I ordered the tagliatelle al funghi gluten free, and received a grocery store fusilli with a couple of mushrooms on top. I paid $21 for a serving of pasta that clearly came out of an $8 box from the store. I get that no one loves the customer that goes to an Italian restaurant and orders gluten free pasta, but to make this sub-par substitute without a heads up about what I’d actually be getting isn’t nice. Also got the radicchio salad, which they forgot at first, so we ended up having it as dessert instead of an appetizer. It was underdressed and bland. We didn’t finish it.
