"What It Is: An Italian restaurant in Williamsburg with high ceilings and a big back patio Perfect For: Date Night, Dinner With The Parents Every once in a while, we find a place that makes us wonder why didn’t know about it sooner. The latest example is Ammazzacaffe. It’s a good-looking space with high ceilings, big windows, and a secretly large backyard where we plan to eat again soon. We had the mafaldine with pork ragu, and when a stranger beside us leaned over and asked if it was like comfort food, we thought, “That’s a weird question.” Then we told this person that the pasta was, in fact, like some very good comfort food. The Verdict: Bring a date the next time you need to impress someone with a place that most people don’t know about." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
