Bed-Stuy + Clinton Hill, Brooklyn ยท bar
An Italian wine bar where the wine list is handwritten on the mirror behind the bar, encouraging you to let the staff steer the conversation. Thin-crust pizza by the quarter pan and Polpette dell'Alessandra in red sauce anchor the menu, while natural Italian wines do the rest. Half the room is held for walk-ins, so showing up without a plan often works just fine.
Umbrian chopped salad of soaked stale bread, cucumbers, onions and tomatoes. Its where you begin.
The app that takes us to that happy place
Beef and pork meatballs in bright red sauce.
Thin-crust quarter-pan pizza with sesame seeds baked into the dough.
