In ShortMaybe it's Palermo, maybe Salamanca, but it's definitely not Park Slope. Candlelight, distressed paint, agricultural tools on the walls: These folks have the rustic Mediterranean look down cold. Unless you're up on your culinary Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, you'll probably need help with the menu, and servers oblige. Expect dishes like artichokes stewed with guanciale (cured hog jowl), a casserole of bacalhau (salt cod) and potatoes, and shepherd's pie.

Tapas to die for
By tptinc451 on 08/27/2004
You enter into an old taverna somewhere in Portugal. Your first order is the plate of seafood tapas for 2 -- just the dish to share with your favorite person. Then you choose from their extensive wine list -- great Portugese wines for reasonable prices. If you're lucky, you get to sit in the garden on a cool summer evening or in the wine cellar on a cold winter evening. Either way, you'll enjoy the food, atmosphere and service!

great place
By softlineco on 02/12/2004
It's a great place. Try Sardinian wines, prawns, duckling ravioli, angus steak, etc. One more -- the initial review is incorrect -- they do accept all major credit cards.

totally transformed
By badxlisa229 on 02/11/2004
It is really amazing how much park slope has cleaned up. I've lived here all my life and I've seen it from bad to good. Park slope has become a great area to live in, especially if for people who kids. You can tell park slope is a growing community by how much the houses around here is worth.
