These restaurants make you fall in love with New York again! Lillo Cucina Inside this Cobble Hill restaurant, you’ll find six tables, 17 seats, and one man who runs the show. But once you taste Lillo’s beautifully simple dishes (almost all under $20), like sauteed artichokes swimming in olive oil, and a saucy rigatoni alla gricia, you'll understand why it's been going strong since 2017. Get a heap of tiramisu before leaving. Amore Pizzeria When you need to get away, head to Amore. more is just Amore. It’s a no-nonsense joint in a strip mall where friendly-enough employees have been churning out consistently perfect pies since the 1970s. The cheese is greasy, the lights are fluorescent, and the crust-to-sauce ratio is, yes, on point. Red Hook Tavern Everybody orders the burger, and nobody shares. That means that at any given moment at this corner spot on Van Brunt Street, 40 burgers are being consumed by 40 people at 40 seats. The silent, side-by-side consumption might make you feel closer to 39 complete strangers than you have to anyone in months. Reserve a spot at the bar, and sip on a martini, stirred by the bartender who also likes to bake, and made some rainbow cookies tonight. Suddenly, New York feels like a very small town.
