A Genuine Italian Restaurant from Rome Opens in New York π
I highly recommend Antica Pesa Brooklyn, an incredibly authentic Italian restaurant. Itβs the same name as its popular counterpart in Rome. π The decor of this place is so innovative, with lots of semi-circular chandeliers. As soon as you walk in, it feels super upscale. Thereβs even a fireplace where you can sit on a sofa and roast marshmallows. The ambiance is just perfect! π₯π― All the waitstaff are Italian. Tonight, there were very few guests, and three waiters attended to our table, giving us a detailed introduction to each dish. It felt like a Michelin experience! π Their menu is truly authentic. The pre-meal bread π₯ served with olive oil made me feel like I was back in Italy. For appetizers, we had POLIPETTI ALLA LUCIANA π. The octopus was seasoned in a very unique way and was incredibly refreshing. For the main course, we ordered two types of pasta. Their pasta is all handmade on the spot. The CAPPELLETTI DI ZUCCA AI TRE PARMIGIANI was amazing. The pumpkin-filled Italian dumplings were so delicious, with the creamy cheese and pumpkin pairing perfectly. π² The RISOTTO ALLA PESCATORA was also great. The seafood was very fresh, and the rice had a nice chewiness. Highly recommended! π Since itβs such an authentic Italian restaurant, we had to try their tiramisu. It was, of course, delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. ππ» Address: 115 Berry St, Brooklyn, NY 11249 #NewYork ππ
