Calabrian Food in Manhattan With Wood Fired Pizza and Ragu
Order baked Fusilli Silani and wood fired pizza at a rustic, brick walled spot serving Calabrian food in Manhattan.
🍕 Ragu, Pizza and Lava Cake
Calabrian food in Manhattan has a cozy, brick walled home at Il Brigante, 214 Front Street. The kitchen leans on Southern Italian tradition, and Fusilli Silani is the dish to order first, with caciocavallo cheese and sausage ragu baked in a wood burning oven.
Start the table with Antipasto Casareccio and its spicy salami, or fresh tomato bruschetta, then add a wood fired pizza or Rigatoni alla Mozzarella di Bufala. Chocolate lava cake closes the meal. Seating splits between the rustic dining room and sidewalk tables, and the staff adjust to your pace, quick for a lunch break or relaxed enough to offer dessert to late arrivals near closing.
Lunch runs from noon to 4 PM on weekdays and from half past noon on weekends. Dinner starts at 4 PM daily and runs until half past ten Sunday through Thursday, and until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday.
