21 Best Italian Restaurants in New York | Condé Nast Traveler
"Frankies 457 Spuntino is a characteristically Brooklyn spot: warm and inviting, with exposed brick walls and a long wooden bar. The best part, though, is the intimate backyard space, which is open on warm summer evenings. Frankie's is always full of locals (including families) who know their stuff when it comes to food and restaurants, and is popular for an unplanned dinner or a very good brunch . This means waits can be long, but everyone you ask will say it’s worth it. Even if you don't order it for your main dish, be sure to get a plate of the sweet potato and sage ravioli for the table." - Andrea Whittle
