"Under the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, opposite a gas station, Farina is right on the border of Red Hook and Carroll Gardens—and it’s where you should stop for a relaxed pizza dinner after a day spent thoroughly exploring the cobbled streets and maritime views of Red Hook. The Southern Italian restaurant makes pizza “irregolare” with seven types of flour, and you’ll find pies topped with mashed potatoes, or pork belly and bottarga. Come with a group for carafes of sangiovese, and lots of pizzas to share. If you stay late, you might even get some oven-roasted chestnuts. " - willa moore, hannah albertine
