Located in Williamsburg on Grand Street, Baci & Abbracci is a great Italian restaurant, offering quality cuisine at reasonable prices. The traditional pizza is great, especially the quattro formaggi. B&A offers a nice selection of wines, pasta, dessert and more. In warm seasons there is a lovely garden in the back. Weekend brunch is available until 4pm. The pleasant atmosphere and friendly, astute staff makes this a great destination for a group of friends. It's also a popular place for a romantic date. The name does, after all, translate into "Hugs and Kisses."
This lovely restaurant exudes warmth and tranquility at all times, whether on a quiet weekday afternoon or a busy Saturday evening. Candles on the tables show off the wooden furnishings, while the Italian staff romances the clientèle with its charm. The food at Malatesta Trattoria is good and inexpensive. The bruschetta is a popular starter as is the carpaccio of salmon or grilled tuna. The textured and rich gnocchi are as tasty as they are filling. For a somewhat lighter dish, try the cheese ravioli in pink sauce. Delicious!
Locals who rave about the dishes in this Soho eatery are in and out quickly, since there are only eight seats. But you will enjoy every bite at this plain and simple eatery. The Italian dishes are the way to go here, including the large selection of pastas. There are also items like sautéed salmon with champagne sauce, portobello mushrooms, antipasto misto and fusilli puttanesca.
