"If it seems difficult to find good food at a good price in Brooklyn's South Slope, then you haven't been to Flora. Emiliano Cammardella and Rossella Episcopo are behind this welcoming, light-filled spot that retains many of the rustic touches of its former incarnation (think exposed brick walls and wood-framed doors and windows) interspersed with industrial touches. The food is as winning as the ambience. Bell-shaped ravioli filled with imported ricotta di bufala, dressed with shaved and sprinkled bottarga di muggine, fragrant lemon rind and crunchy breadcrumbs is simple, but delicious. Then for dessert, delizia al limone, imported directly from the Amalfi Coast’s famed pastry chef, Sal De Riso, is a bite of sunshine." - Michelin Inspector

"This new regional Italian restaurant in South Slope, owned and operated by ebullient young owners from Campania, adds Amaretto cookies (spiked with almonds) right in the middle of its elegant tiramisu, which give it a bittersweet taste at the end. It’s a fine way to finish off a meal dedicated to the cuisine of Southern Italy." - Andrew Cotto
