Al di Là

This welcoming neighborhood spot—which now draws diners from all over—offers a menu crammed with fantastic northern Italian dishes such as trippa alla Toscana, homemade ravioli and braised rabbit with polenta. Since this is Brooklyn, husband-and-wife team Anna Klinger and Emiliano Coppa also put forth daily-changing seasonal specials. Savor the satisfying, rough-hewn fare among stroller-accompanied Park Slope families, couples snuggling in the intimate dining room, and regulars who have been eating at this little gem since it opened in 1998.
