Fragole may be a restaurant, but our chef won't stand for restaurant food. Instead, your meal, and every meal, is homemade. The food isn't just in the style of Italian food; it is Italian food. From the bread to the gnocchi to most of the pastas to the sauces, he insists it is made by hand, in-house, everyday.

Arepera Guacuco is a Venezuelan restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Arepas are lightly-fried corn patties that are split open and filled with cheese, vegetables or meat. Carmen’s secret is that we makes our arepas super fresh: When we sees a customer walk in the door, we starts making the patties from cornmeal, salt and water. We pats them into shape, fries them on a griddle with a bit of oil, and finishes them in the oven. There’s beer and wine on this menu, but a more memorable drink is the papelón con límon, a traditional Venezuelan limeade spiked with molasses.
