The Brooklyn Hit List: The Best New Restaurants In Brooklyn - New York - The Infatuation
"Crown Heights’ tuna melt scene is heating up. OK, so the crown remains pretty firmly planted on Agi’s Counter’s head. But Bottega, an Italian café, serves a very good version. It's served on griddled milkbread that’s baked at sister restaurant Maretta, and comes with confit artichokes, capers, melted fontina, and a smear of lemon aioli. Bottega serves breakfast sandwiches before 11, as well as spritzes, making it an all-purpose stop anytime before 4pm. And since it’s a 20-minute walk from Prospect Park, it’s also a useful place to pick up a spicy fennel sausage sandwich, a bowl of pesto orecchiette with oyster mushrooms, or mortadella on focaccia with summer squash and stracchino before a picnic." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, sonal shah
