Frommer's Highly Recommended

It doesn't mean little Broccoli -- the name of this restaurant is a corruption of Italian immigrant slang for New York's biggest and once most heavily Italian borough. Notice the Brooklyn memorabilia filling the walls and the mural of Manhattan's skyline -- this casual trattoria near Calle Florida is popular with North Americans from Robert Duvall to those far less famous. Many of the waiters speak English, and the restaurant has a distinctly New York feel. Three small dining rooms are decorated in quintessential red-and-white checkered tablecloths, and the smell of tomatoes, onions, and garlic fills the air. The restaurant is known for its spicy pizzas, fresh pastas, and, above all, its sauces (salsas in Spanish). The restaurant also serves 2,000 pounds per month of baby calamari sautéed in wine, onions, parsley, and garlic.
