Williamsburg, Brooklyn ยท bar
A tiny Williamsburg wine bar pouring over ninety natural wines by the glass (all Italian, all from small conscious winemakers) in a space that fits four tables and fifteen barstools. The food is proper Italian too, with handmade pasta, charcuterie, and lamb chops from seasonal ingredients. If you have never had a skin-contact orange wine, this is the room to try one, and the staff will walk you through it without a trace of pretension.
Fresh pappardelle with slowly braised beef ragu, peppercorn, rosemary, and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Thick housemade spaghettoni tossed with Maine lobster tail, garlic, and a light white wine sauce.
Creamy burrata with black truffle paired with 24-month aged Prosciutto di Parma.
