River Deli

"Between the green-and-white tiled floors, globe lights, and tables filled with flowery ceramic bowls of mushroom pappardelle and spinach-ricotta ravioli, River Deli has all the usual charms of an aspirational neighborhood corner spot. We especially like coming to this Brooklyn Heights Sardinian-Italian restaurant for a glass of wine and some lasagna at the bar. Another good idea: Stop in for a negroni and some olives while you try to remember if the woman sitting near the door is Emily Mortimer or Rachel Weisz." - hannah albertine
