This fantastically delicious find tucked away at the end of Greenpoint is the passion project of jazz musician Luca Fadda, his wife, Giorgia, and their longtime friend Nicola Paganelli.
A striking whitewashed façade and black doors signal the entry to this gem, which shares a uniquely Italian spirit by way of shiny marble tables and planters galore. The communal tables encourage lingering, perhaps over the likes of on-site baked breads and fresh pastas. Speaking of, the spaghetti alla carbonara is a toothsome feast; followed by white wine-glazed meatballs with lemon and parsley. The fish of the day turns up with crispy panelle; but for your meal's end, there's no going wrong with the ricotta-rich cannolo.
