Antica Pesa Brooklyn

12 Top Quiet Restaurants in NYC | Eater NY

"The Williamsburg location of Antica Pesa — an outpost of the Panella family’s Michelin-starred Roman restaurant in Trastevere — also uses local, mainly organic ingredients. The golden-lit room with dark wood, soft music, leather banquettes, and a warming fireplace is a popular date night spot (Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford cozied up there last month). Couples can dig into cacio e pepe, chicken cutlet with chamomile, and show-stopping desserts like affogato 2K19 — a vanilla gelato bar with chocolate shavings served with hot espresso poured tableside." - Beth Landman
