When you are looking for a place to eat out, do not limit yourself to Manhattan. Brooklyn is just minutes across the river, has many fine restaurants and the prices are very reasonable also. It is nice to roam around and discover one on your own, but there are times when you want to know where you are going. If you are looking for an Italian restaurant, .begin your Italian restaurant search here. I have included different styles and prices, so there is something for everyone. The prices listed are for entrees only and are in effect at the time this is written. They are subject to change, so check with the restaurant if you want to be sure. I have included listings from as many different neighborhoods as possible. So let's take a journey through Brooklyn , and see if we can find a bit of Italy. They all have a web site with menus, so you can get a sneak peak. Happy eating.
