Il Brigante
4.4 (1,189)restaurant
A cozy brick-walled spot serving rustic Calabrian plates and wood-fired pizzas with exceptionally warm hospitality.
Description




The menu highlights regional Southern Italian traditions, showcasing dishes like Fusilli Silani—caciocavallo cheese and sausage ragu baked in a wood-burning oven—and Antipasto Casareccio with spicy salami. Other offerings include fresh tomato bruschetta, Rigatoni alla Mozzarella di Bufala, and desserts like chocolate lava cake. Diners can sit inside the rustic dining room or at the sidewalk tables. The staff is known for accommodating different paces, prompt enough for those in a rush yet relaxed enough to offer dessert to late-night arrivals right before closing.
