Bar Toto might be, in fact, the best thing about the Slope. Nestled on a residential (read: quiet) street with ample outdoor & indoor seating, this panini/Italian bistro/bar serves up rich and rewarding dishes that will surprise you and leave you satiated and happy. Best bolognese dish you'll EVER eat; best Penne w peas & prosciutto for that "god I'm hungry" moment (pile on some parmigiano and you are SET); my favorite: Eggs Toto for brunch. And to top it off: staff is unbeatable - anywhere.

I have been going to this place for brunch about once a month for the past 2 years. It is never crowded, family friendly, and a great neighborhood hangout. The wait staff is unobtrusive and friendly. They make great bloody marys and bellinis. The coffee is strong, but the food is the biggest draw: eggs florentine is served with grilled polenta and covered in a rich parmesean creame sauce. you can have either shoe string fries (my favorite) or green salad with it. Eggs Toto is poached eggs with was is essencially a tomato and onion focaccia. the paninis are crispy and gooey, but I did not feel that their pasta was their string point. For the most part the cooking is consistant, though the last time I was there they had over cooked the eggs. Whenever I have guests I take them here for the cool atmosphere (large mirrors against on wall reflecting the tall, high windows, dark wood and leather seating - a very French bistro feel). Great outdoor, if limited, seating. Obviously a local favorite.

They say "Be careful what you wish for" - well, I had been wishing and wishing for a delicious panini place, as tasty as 'ino but in my neck of the woods, something simple and low-key and mostly empty, with a lovely and melancholy waitress who knows when to disappear and when to reappear -- and Bar Toto appeared, exactly what I wished for. So, why do I never go there? Could the place be too empty, too spooky? I can't figure it out. * * * Important note: this place is near the *5th ave and 9th st* R stop, NOT 59th st N/R. Park Slope, not Bay Ridge.
