We have been here multiple times and the Big Tiny team always delivers. The food is incredible, wonderful atmosphere, and the service even better. Definitely our top place in the neighborhood. Favorite dish... so hard to choose... the duck salad is top notch

This was one of our favorite dining experiences in the neighborhood! The place is super cute and cozy with great decoration. The food was also so delicious and at great prices - we had the filet mignon carpaccio (awesome mix of flavors!), French onion soup, the cassoulet (combo of beans and meats), and the beet salad. The wine was a great selection and the staff/owner were all so nice! Will definitely be returning soon to try everything else that the menu has to offer!

Good food and friendly hosts in this tiny space that seems bigger on the inside. The outdoor seating is perfect: spacious and shaded. The retro decor inside is as fun to explore as the options on the menu. The oxtail terrine was great and the mussels tasted so fresh!

My friend and I went here for dinner recently on a chilly evening and were welcomed with a cozy environment paired with delicious food. We started with their ham and cheese croquettes, which melted in our mouth. Paired with the filet mignon carpaccio, which was so flavorful with each bite. For our mains, I chose the cream ravioli and it was the perfect balance. My friend ordered the big tiny cassoulet and potato gratin, both were bursting with flavor. The service was prompt and friendly, making everyone feel like a regular. Can’t wait to come back.

A friend and I were able to walk in at about 7pm on a Wednesday night (the night before Thanksgiving, I should add!) and we were immediately greeted by the staff and given a choice of whatever open table they had. The vibe was warm and cozy, and you could tell that the crowd was a crowd of regulars who were enjoying time with their loved ones over great food and wine. I picture myself spending a lot of time here as the weather is cooling down. I got a glass of one of their red wine specials (apologies for not remembering the name!). The menu has so many good options but we landed on the croquettes, the filet mignon carpaccio, the cassoulet, raviolini, and potato gratin, all of which we split. It’s difficult to pick favorites as all were fantastic and cooked to perfection. Don’t expect a quick meal as everything was prepared fresh and is homemade. The service was spectacular. This is the perfect place to bring loved ones - whether it be friends, family, or lovers - and enjoy wonderful food and conversation. Overall, gem of a spot.

Dinner plans that fell through at another restaurant, brought us to this gem. There were so many good options, it was hard to decide. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. From the escargot, muscles, the lamb and beef dish over beans. We had to get extra bread for the garlic butter and olive oil sauce. They also give you toasted bread for the muscle sauce which was flavorful. They also have great happy hour deals which we did one with oysters and another with mushroom on toast. The staff was very attentive and the space was small but cozy. Completely stuffed by the end, but very well worth it.

Met friends for dinner after my son suggested this place. It is his and his girlfriends fave. What a little gem of a place. Nice menu with really nice options to choose from. Food was delicious and so worth it. Service was great. And dessert finished off for a wonderful dinner. the lemon tart was by far the best we've ever tasted. So going back !

We stopped by Big Tiny for dinner, and let me just say—if this place isn’t ranked as having the BEST ravioli in the USA, I don’t know what to tell you. It was that incredible. Perfectly crafted, bursting with flavor, and absolutely unforgettable. Beyond the mind-blowing ravioli, everything else was just as amazing—the service was top-notch, the wine selection was spot on, and the cozy yet lively atmosphere made for the perfect Brooklyn dining experience. Seriously, do yourself a favor and get the ravioli. This spot is an absolute gem, and we can’t wait to come back!
