Profile

Anna Klinger and her husband, Emiliano Coppa, bring a touch of the Veneto to their perpetually mobbed restaurant in Park Slope. If you manage to fight your way through the door, pay special attention to dishes like braised rabbit with black olives and polenta; fat Venetian malfatti (Swiss-chard gnudi); and the hanger steak, which is tinged with balsamic. Klinger's desserts, especially the gelati, are the best in this increasingly restaurant-happy corner of Brooklyn.

Recommended Dishes

Malfatti, $13; casonziei, $11; braised rabbit, $22.50
