"Chances are, you’ve never heard of Il Passatore. But if you have friends who live in East Williamsburg, this is probably where they go for a date night that involves too much pasta. Most pastas are around $18, and they do generous pours of wine for under $10 a glass. With its paper napkins and haphazardly arranged string lights, books, and trinkets, this place isn't trying too hard. It's just a nice little spot tucked away on a mostly-residential street where you and your date can get away from the rest of the world. " - neha talreja, bryan kim
