Pecoraro Latteria — Restaurant in New York

We have picked up pastries and slices of pizza here before and enjoyed, so we were looking forward to trying brunch. Unfortunately it was very disappointing. We ordered the porchetta “hash” which is not hash at all but a slice of porchetta with an extremely small amount of breakfast potatoes on the side - like half or a third of a portion of potatoes as a side, let alone for an entree of hash. We also ordered the “buttermilk pancakes” made with “wild hive mill buckwheat” - whether they are made with these ingredients or not, they tasted very average and regardless were smothered in chocolate, bananas, powdered sugar, and whipped cream (the latter two not noted on menu) and the side of “maple syrup” was actually just generic pancake syrup. I also ordered a latte to go and was extremely surprised to see that it was an enormous cup, maybe 20oz, and was made scalding hot - not the standard size or correct temperature for a latte, unexpected for an Italian restaurant. The menu description was inaccurate/misleading for both items, the portions were small, and the quality was just ok at best. We might still pick up baked goods to go but will not...

I had the pleasure of hosting three separate bridal/baby showers at Pecoraro Latteria over the course of the past year. It probably sounds crazy to use the same venue three times, but after hosting the first shower, there was really no sense in going anywhere else. We had approximately 50 people each time and had the entire restaurant to ourselves. The food was the star of the show. This wasn’t a typical shower menu where you get some forgettable, perfunctory meal. The food was more akin to what you’d expect for a special occasion date night. We had passed hors d'oeuvres for the first hour, followed by a three course sit down meal, and then coffee and dessert. I worked with Claudio to come up with the menus, he was wonderful and put great care into every detail. Our guests included older, picky ladies right from Italy, and they unanimously gave the food a five star review, it was well worth the trip to trendy Williamsburg for them. The service and cocktails were excellent as well. Overall Pecoraro Latteria is a terrific place to host an event, a breath of fresh air from the usual...

By Far the BEST! Italian food in the country. I happened to be in the neighborhood and I saw the name Pecoraro Latteria, and out of curiosity I went in to find out what they were about because the translation in Italian Pecoraro means Shepperd and Latteria means the milk store, it turned out that the founder last name was Pecoraro and he was doing the same profession when he was in Italy and when he moved to the states he continued the same tradition. and I said to my self he couldn't have chosen a better profession with the last name Pecoraro. I also truly mean it was the best place I ate at and I have been going back ever since and I travel more then an hour to go to it and everyone I took there with me got hooked and has been doing the same ever since. Great food, Great Service, Great prices, Authentic cosine, and Great Service Cant ask for...
