"Aita Trattoria, a spinoff of Clinton Hill’s Aita, is a cozy little neighborhood restaurant in Crown Heights with a reliable menu of pastas that are traditional but far from basic, with lots of shapes and sauces represented, like a paccheri with oxtail ragu, spaghetti with white clam sauce, and pappardelle with roasted mushrooms and parsley. Aita also has a strong selection of aperitifs and digestifs for before and after your meal." - Robert Sietsema
