I believe we achieved our goal of crafting just the right celebratory meal as we cherry-picked our way through the maze of menu categories at Barano, 26 Broadway in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In addition to our whimsical sfizi, Arancini – crispy rice balls with peas, mushrooms, mozzarella and a lemon sauce; and our little plate piattini, Octopus with farro, mint, pesto, celery, pickled radish and pine nuts; we enjoyed…
[1] Stinging Nettle Tortelloni with rock shrimp and artichoke, grilled asparagus and burnt orange hazelnut butter on the side from the Primi category
[2] Risotto with morels, ramps and foie gras from the Speciale group
[3] Prime Rib Cap Braciole with raisins, pine nuts, polenta, broccoli rabe and parmigiana, also from the Speciale category
[4] Wild Ramp Pizza with mozzarella, ricotta, ramps and EVOO, from the Pizza category, natch
[5] Torta Caprese, a dark chocolate almond tart with Calabrian Anglaise for dessert
And a splendid time was had by all!
Hi Rich,
This sounds exquisite! What does it take to go to your next meal there? I’d love to be there!!

I’m afraid what it takes is deep pockets, Talia! It’s a lovely spot but somewhat pricey by WFLDOG standards (it was about $75 per person; we each had one drink) and the portions are small – barely shareable. Since we were honoring two friends’ birthdays, we celebrated! As I think about it, I don’t know for certain that they could accommodate a group our size. Sorry to disappoint! (But you’ve got a good eye for quality!)

OMG !! That combo of food sounds so good,it,s ridiculous !!
