Why we point you here

Brooklyn Italian that's charted nationally, earning James Beard recognition for excellence worth the detour.

This is Brooklyn Italian cooking done with the kind of confidence that earns James Beard recognition—chef Missy Robbins took Best Chef honors in 2018. It's worth building a night around, the kind of place where serious technique meets the borough's energy.
