"Regarded as one of Park Slope’s finest restaurants, old-timer (founded in 1998 by Emiliano Coppa and chef Anna Klinger), Al Di La is known for its Northern Italian food and its small, perpetually-packed space. Pasta standouts include the torelli stuffed with corn and mascarpone, and spaghetti neri alla chitarra, with squid-ink pasta and octopus confit." - Robert Sietsema
