A little on the pricier side, save this place for a date night. THE BEST food I've had in Bushwick by far. Love, love this new spot. Wood-fired pastas, homemade everything, all around perfect.

My favorite bar in all of New York. Owned by a local and adorably perfect. Feels like you've stepped back in time. Be sure to snag a seat at the window and grab a taco next door if you get hungry :)
