"If you’re planning a date in or around Clinton Hill, Aita will never not be a good option. It’s a neighborhood Italian place decorated like an English professor’s weekend home in the Catskills, and it’ll make you seem like a mature, thoughtful person who files their taxes on time. You should also know that the food here is great, and, while the pasta portions tend to be a little small, you probably don’t shouldn’t eat to capacity on an early-in-the-game date anyway." - bryan kim
