Profile

By day, the gently-priced Caffe e’ Vino acts as a de facto cafeteria for the Brooklyn Hospital Center, located across the street. After sundown, couples begin to fill the raw wood tables and upholstered banquettes. While the menu adheres to a basic Italian 101 formula, it’s one of the few spots in the neighborhood for red sauce staples. A stack of fresh peppery arugula strewn with Pecorino curls, walnuts, and sweet pear slices dressed in lemony vinaigrette stands out. Pastas tend to be more successful than secondi. Ground veal, whether in a hearty ragu over fettuccine or formed into tiny polpettine, is a welcome antidote to plain salmon. — Krista Garcia

My wife and I first discovered this wonderful restaurant just one block from BAM- Harvey Theater . As New Yorkers, we have our pick of literally thousands of Italian Restaurants and yet we return to this one as often as possible all the way from the sticks of the upper eastside ,Both the food and the service are very reasonable , My wife adores the Spinach Soufle and I am always pleasantly surprised by whatever is offered as aspecial . Get to know this restaurant you"ll be back too.

Great Authentic Italian in Brooklyn
