"The category is: sultry. A hulking wooden door at this sister restaurant to Crawford & Son gives way to a dining room filled with earth tones and a quartzite slab behind the bar that’s so thin, light shines through it. Water defines Brodeto—the Adriatic Sea, to be precise. Dishes draw from Croatia and eastern and southern Italy, many of them featuring seafood from sea urchin butter to monkfish, not to mention a crudo section leading the menu. With a range of two-tops, Brodeto is ideal for lovers splurging on a special occasion dinner in the intimate back room. Afterwards, grab a nightcap around the corner at Hummingbird’s bar. photo credit: Jessica Crawford photo credit: Jessica Crawford photo credit: Jessica Crawford photo credit: Jessica Crawford Pause Unmute" - Eric Ginsburg
