"From the team behind beloved Brooklyn neighborhood spots Diner, Marlow & Sons, and Roman’s comes Borgo, a seasonal Italian restaurant that’s a little less neighborhoody than its predecessors. Inside the sprawling restaurant, there’s impressively spaced-out tables, flickering taper candles, and a pasta dish called the timballo di annelletti, which tastes like an extra fancy take on a can of SpaghettiOs. Classy without being stuffy, familiar but still inventive, save this restaurant for a special occasion. Focus on the pastas, order the second bottle of wine, and don’t underestimate the fried delicata squash—it looks like onion rings and goes down like funnel cake." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus
