“Just a no frills, huge portions, neighborhoody, red and white tablecloth Italian spot. Get whatever pasta special they got and the pork chop, that place makes me so happy.”

replying to u/loudonfast: If you are looking for Italian American (which is its own thing-who cares what actual 21st century Italians think of it? If it’s made with care it’s delicious!) you should be looking for places that feature things like Sunday Gravy, Pork chops with vinegar peppers and Chicken Scarpariello. The classics of the genre are in Brooklyn and the Bronx, they are cheaper than Major restaurants and you will get a feel for how they actually fit into their neighborhoods. Places like… Bamonte’s Don Peppe Tra di Noi Zero Otto Nove
“They do an incredible Chicken Parmigiana too.”

in:Brooklyn Roots Italian in Bay Ridge. Outstanding. Every single item we ordered came in an enormous portion and was packed with flavor. One person described it as “Italian Soul Food” and I think that’s completely accurate.5 pts
“That lobster pasta is the stuff dreams are made of. And the bread pudding is out of this world!”

replying to u/sighnwaves: Definitely not run and gun, nor fancy....but I absolutely adore Sunday nights at Brooklyn Roots in Bayridge. Just a no frills, huge portions, neighborhoody, red and white tablecloth Italian spot. Get whatever pasta special they got and the pork chop, that place makes me so happy.
“I only been there once and sat outside and for some reason I wasn't eating pasta at the time and got the tomahawk steak it was good, but dumb move.”
