Cremini's

"This small restaurant way down south in Carroll Gardens, near the Smith and Ninth Street stop on the F, specializes in the food of Italy’s Le Marche, where sandwiches are made on larded flatbreads called crescia. These are delicious sandwiches, akin to the piadini of northern Italy, and imbued with the taste of a smoky oven. Arancini, potatoes, fritters, and pastas from the region are also available." - Eater Staff

"This Italian spot in Gowanus is offering delivery and takeout from 1pm to 10pm daily. You’ll find dishes like stuffed olives, cured meats, cream puffs, and more when you order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"Whether you choose to analyze the long menu at Cremini’s with more of a scientific method or go for a pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey approach, one thing needs to be part of your order: fried Ascolana olives filled with minced meats. They’re one of the best drinking snacks around." - team infatuation

"The Ascolana olives at this all-day Italian spot in Carroll Gardens are deep-fried and stuffed with minced meats—and they’re some of our favorite drinking snacks in Brooklyn. Good things happen when you put those olives into a three-meat burger and serve that burger with provolone, bacon, and caramelized onions on a pretzel bun." - Team Infatuation

"Along with its regular menu of fried Italian snacks and filling entrees, Cremini’s is currently offering a bunch of different food and drink combinations that’ll cover you for multiple meals. They range from cheese and charcuterie plates, to huge spreads of fully prepared dishes, like fettuccine with bechamel, bacon cheeseburgers with fries, and Italian donuts filled with custard. Many of the specials include bottles of wine, so make sure to add a side of fried Ascolana olives filled with minced meats, which are some of our favorite drinking snacks around." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
