Thanks to our friends at  Brownstoner for clipping and posting the New York Times review of Sette that gave it one star. I do believe it is the only restaurant on Seventh Avenue ever to be so recognized. It joins the other two starred restaurants in the Slope: Al Di La and Stone Park Cafe

I’d heard the news but didn’t see the review of the restaurant that is less than a block away on the south-east corner of Third Street and Seventh Avenue. I love the look of the place and the atmosphere. Dinner is great. Brunch last week was a little fussy – the french toast way to sweet for my taste, the pressed sandwich a little rich (my mother whispered to me on leaving, "I don’t think this place is very good.") But I love the bar, the wine, the pizza, all the main courses I’ve tried, and the corner view of Seventh Avenue in the last afternoon/early evening.  Sette, we’re so glad to have you.

Frank Bruni gives a largely positive review of Sette Enoteca, the Park
Slope italian restaurant. Citing some unevenness, Bruni clearly thinks
the young restaurant in on the right track:

Sette aspires to sophistication and wants to telegraph
that it’s in touch with the latest trends and on the hunt for
distinctive ingredients. The care with which its menu and best dishes
are put together underscores the aim of an increasing number of
restaurateurs in Park Slope, which seems to be especially fertile soil
for Italian cooking. They shoot for more than just excellent
neighborhood restaurants. They shoot for excellent restaurants, period.
But Sette isn’t too full of itself. It doesn’t let its ambitions trump
the relaxed atmosphere in its attractively dark, oppressively loud
dining room. Nor does it let those ambitions distract it from trying to
win diners’ hearts in direct, unpretentious ways.

How have other people’s experiences stacked up?
