🍝 Housemade Pasta With Butter Chili

Butter chili gives the housemade pasta its heat at I Cavallini, a warm Williamsburg Italian restaurant at 284 Grand St in Brooklyn. The rich, spicy farfallone is the plate for a pasta dinner with a little kick.

Open with focaccia and whipped ricotta or a house martini, then let the wines carry the rest of the evening. A huge pork chop in a sweet and savory umami sauce is built for sharing across the table, and the standout tiramisu deserves space at the finish. Service is highly attentive, and the upscale menu suits a date night.

The room leans beautiful and slightly quirky, with a funky playlist held at moderate volume, alive without getting loud. Dinner runs daily from 5 PM to 10 PM. Book ahead or walk in, depending on how you like to plan an evening. Diners give it a 4.5 rating across 171 reviews.
