Table 87

Stepping into Table 87 on Atlantic Avenue feels like finding a welcoming nook tucked just right in the heart of Brooklyn. The warmth of the space invites you in with a relaxed, neighborhood rhythm that makes it easy to settle in, whether you’re grabbing a quick slice or lingering over cocktails as the evening deepens. There’s an effortless blend here between casual comfort and a touch of unexpected spaciousness—hidden seating areas giving a sense of quiet retreat amid the city’s pulse.

The mood is easygoing but attentive, where the hum of conversations and clinking glasses create a convivial backdrop without overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where locals might gather midweek to unwind with a well-crafted drink or share stories over artisanal pizzas that carry a whisper of tradition and a sprinkle of spirited creativity. The kitchen’s care shows through dishes that balance familiar flavors with thoughtful craftsmanship—from the savory dances of sausage and pepper to the more playful surprises like Nutella pizzas, each bite inviting a moment of connection.

Beyond the signature pizzas, the menu feels like a celebration of Italian roots mixed with Brooklyn’s approachable charm—fresh burrata alongside fried calamari and baked clams, or a hearty chicken parmigiana that comforts without ceremony. Whether you’re perched at the bar watching a cocktail come alive or tucked away with friends soaking in the atmosphere, there’s a quietly joyful quality here, where food and drink bring people together in shared enjoyment rather than showmanship.

Though its location in Brooklyn can present a bit of a challenge for parking, what you discover inside makes a detour worthwhile. The attentive, friendly staff enhance the experience without fanfare, making each visit feel personal and familiar over time. Whether it’s a spontaneous family lunch or a casual nightcap, Table 87 holds space for those simple moments of connection—the understated hum of a place where good company, good food, and a well-mixed cocktail come naturally.
