Introduction / Overview

New Yorkers are always on the hunt for a dining spot that perfectly captures the city's unique charm, and Fini Patio Bar is the latest, and arguably greatest, addition to the Brooklyn Heights waterfront. Seamlessly blending the best of a quintessential NYC pizzeria with the relaxed, elevated experience of a full-service Italian restaurant and bar, Fini Patio Bar offers an unforgettable experience right on the East River.

This establishment, from the experienced team including the co-owner of the acclaimed Italian restaurant Lilia, provides a refreshing and vibrant dining option. Fini Patio Bar is designed to be a neighborhood restaurant where friends and family can gather, offering a “very chill” and welcoming atmosphere that is a true escape from the bustle of the city.
