I walked through Da Nonna Rosa, the new pizza/Italian eatery on Seventh Avenue between Garfield and Carroll Streets in Park Slope, for a look-see. A walk-through. A get acquainted stroll.
You get the idea.
The front of the restaurant, where Snooky’s and Mac’s had bars and Elementi had a bar and a dining room, is a traditional New York pizza place. Lots of guys behind the counter. Pizza ovens, pizza by the slice, lots of interesting choices of toppings.
The back is a full service restaurant, where you can get Italian entrees. You can also take your slice of pizza back there. It looks easy-going and nice. There is no bar though they may serve wine and beer (I’m not sure about that).
As I was walking out an extremely nice pizza chef complimented my big, white furry hat.
“My daughter has one,” he told me. “I call it her Russian hat…”
So far I have nothing but favorable impressions of Da Nonna Rosa. Welcome to the neighborhood and I look forward to coming in soon.
