Profile

On the surface, Bar Tano (which opened in the no-foodie’s-land between Park Slope and Carroll Gardens), bears more than a slight resemblance to its older sibling, Park Slope’s Bar Toto. They share an atmospheric old-world vibe, tin ceilings, and a long, inviting bar (zinc in this case, imported from Texas). But Bar Tano, according to partner Peter Sclafani (“Tano” was his grandfather’s nickname), is “more of a bar, with a lot more alcohol.” To wit: ten tap beers, 30 Italian wines by the glass, and house cocktails like a “dirty beet” martini. Tano’s menu is lighter and snackier, and runs the enoteca gamut from arancini to baccal bruschette and a Taleggio panino with fig jam and escarole. Expect also a few simple pastas, and a selection of grilled pizzas.
