Santorini Grill167 Grand St # A NY 11211-4294 (718) 388-3668 I have never been to Santorini, but I understand it is a wonderful island. The Santorini Grill lives up to its name. The dishes are simple, mostly grilled with some Mousaka and spinach pies thrown in, but done with a carefulness and passion that separates it from the crowd. The ...

La Trattoria Italiana2811 Avenue UBrooklyn, NY 11229 718 648 0334  La Trattoria is a good relatively inexpensive Italian restaurant, with a large open room it is the right place for that office party or large family occasion. While the food is good and the portions hardy, the restaurant has over the decades lost that special ...

Istanbul Fish & Kabob1725 Emmons AvenueBrooklyn, NY 718 368-3587 There seems to be a spate of Turkish restaurants that have turned up lately, unfortunately not all are up to the task.

I could hardly concentrate on ...

El Tequilero1114 Avenue UBrooklyn, NY  347 275 5557 Restaurants are often family owned businesses that represent most of the family’s assets and hopes.

Padre Figlio310 east 44 streetNY, NY  Going back to any restaurant including Padre Figlio, is really challenging. The restaurant is not only competing with other restaurants it is also competing with itself. Padre Figlio is still that very professional and very good food place. The Maitre D’ has everything under control when you ...

Nino’s Positano890 2nd Avenue New York NY10017 (212) 355-5540 Nino’s seems to have many loyal customers, I noticed the waiters call some of their patrons by name. There is a reason for this loyalty. It is good food with extra large portions and no cut corners.  The Jumbo Crab Cakes were almost all crab, no Surimi ...

In Vino215 E. 4th StreetNew York, NY 10002212.539.1011I am not a big fan of eating in cellars or mud huts, so I find it strange that Invino has decorated its walls with a rough sand texture that reminds me of both. But I guess if you have to distinguish yourself from the dozens of other bistros that have sprung up in Alphabet city, it could be ...
