Italian Restaurant in Greenpoint With House Pasta and Jazz

An Italian restaurant in Greenpoint has to compete with a lot of pasta, and Le Fanfare answers with a horn section. House made pasta and house made bread anchor the kitchen at the far end of Manhattan Avenue, classic cocktails and all Italian wines fill the bar, and live jazz keeps the room loose.

Milan artist and architect Giuseppe Amato designed the interior, gathering communal tables, wooden booths, and marble tables under one roof. Co owner Luca Fadda is a jazz musician himself, which explains how close the music sits to the cooking. Diners point to welcoming staff, balanced flavors, and the tiramisu.

Early in the week the math gets friendly, with a homemade pasta special Monday through Wednesday at 15 dollars. Dinner starts at half past five PM daily, running to 10 PM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, then 11 PM Friday and Saturday, with weekend lunch from 11 AM to 4 PM.
