A guide to pairing Il Porto Ristorante & Wood Fired Pizza with Bruno's thin crust and Kings County pours, in that order.
Brooklyn Dining and Drinks Trio
Wood Fired Pizza Spotlight at Il Porto
Il Porto serves fresh pasta and offers outdoor patio seating on Washington Avenue. On Friday and Saturday evenings, jazz runs from 7 PM to 10 PM, bringing live music into the restaurant during dinner service. Guests can also order takeout, while larger gatherings can use catering and custom event menus. Regular hours run until 10 PM from Sunday to Wednesday and until 11 PM from Thursday to Saturday. Across these options, weekend jazz adds another dinner dimension while pasta, patio seating, and event flexibility remain central.
Hot Honey Pie at Bruno's
On the menu at Bruno's Pizza, crispy thin crust pizza comes in generous slices. Crispy thin crust defines the slice style, while the shop is described as casual and neighborhood focused. Delivery is available through major apps. The restaurant is open to the public at 923 Broadway in Brooklyn. Regular hours begin at noon from Tuesday through Sunday. Service continues until 11 PM Tuesday through Saturday and until 10 PM on Sunday. Monday is the weekly closing day.
Pours at the 1896 Entrance
The tasting room serves Kings County spirits as cocktails, flights, and neat pours. New York wine and beer are available as well, and bottles can be purchased on site. Distillery tours are also offered. Outdoor picnic tables add another seating option in the open air. Entry is free for guests, but admission is limited to people aged 21 and older. Free entry means there is no admission charge, and drinks and tours remain separate from admission for tasting room visitors.
