"We challenge you to find a more impressive restaurant where carafes of wine start around $30. Briscola Trattoria, from the team behind LaRina, is a casual Italian spot in Crown Heights where the bread is free, and the walls are lined with plants and bottles of wine. Highlights include the tagliatelle served with a sidecar of sauce, and the dessert cart topped with various cakes." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"Brunch doesn’t have to mean eggs. It can also mean lasagna al ragú, or costoletta—a breaded pork chop filled with fontina and prosciutto cotto. That’s what you’ll find at Briscola, a charmingly laidback Italian restaurant in Crown Heights that pours house wine at any time of day. There are still egg dishes for the traditionalists—like frittata di pasta, which is exactly what it sounds like. A frittata with spaghetti in it." - bryan kim, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"At this Italian spot in Crown Heights your first round of bread is free, which means everybody gets to try pillowy strips of focaccia slick with olive oil, and toasty sourdough from nearby Dads Bakery. There's no butter, but there is Briscola-branded olive oil. The second basket is $5." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman
"In case you missed it, it’s hard to find a bowl of great pasta these days for under $30. But at Briscola Trattoria, all the pastas are $26 or less, a glass of house wine is $10, and your first round of warm bread is free. From the team behind LaRina, this Crown Heights spot is charmingly laidback, but still has enough candlelight to work perfectly for a dressed-down date night. Focus on the pastas—like sage green, paper thin ravioli, and velvety tagliatelle al ragu—but not so much that you forget about the dessert cart. Ask for the pistachio cake." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"Briscola is a neighborhood restaurant and then some. The Crown Heights Italian spot-from the team behind LaRina—has house wine, free bread, and great pasta dishes, like squid ink-stained spaghetti and a velvety tagliatelle al ragu served with a little extra dish of sauce on the side just because. Always end your meal with something off the roving dessert cart." - willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick
