In Short – Named after a hilltop Sicilian town, this Fort Greene restaurant is done up in the colors of a blazing sunset, fiery reds and soothing yellows. A sculpture of a ram's head overlooks the cool crowd, whose own climbing experience is limited to stairs in a brownstone. The menu honors the region's rusticism in dishes like sardines stuffed with bread crumbs, pine nuts and raisins, organically fed leg of lamb and, for dessert, homemade treats like cassatelle, fried dough stuffed with ricotta. – –

Great ambience and even better food!
by TejalA
My friends and I were looking for a new brunch spot to round out the weekend. Loved it. There was a live band, unlimited bellini's, yummy healthy portions of food, quick service and good fun - all for under $20. We stayed for the whole brunch span loading up on bellini's and chatting away with our neighboring tables. Everyone seemed to know each other and that gave it a good feel. I've been there twice since then and plan to go again this weekend. See you there!
- Pros: Great service and attentive staff
