Excellent local Italian restaurant a few minutes from the apartment! If you need to have a delicious sit-down dinner in the neighborhood with people who make their own pasta, go to Camillo. It’s a nice-looking Roman cuisine restaurant with brick walls and wooden tables, and they serve things like porchetta, octopus, and pinsas (a.k.a. oval pizzas). They also have your typical Roman pastas like carbonara and cacio e pepe, and there’s a bar where you can drink a well made negroni or two!

Risbo is a counter-service place that looks more like a nice Soho boutique than a restaurant. But it is, in fact, a restaurant, and it serves rotisserie platters with your choice of protein (like duck, lamb, or a whole roasted fish) plus some vegetable sides. If you want something a little lighter, get a grain bowl or salad - and there’s also a full bar in case you want a drink!

This casual Middle Eastern spot has about 10 tables and a few beers and wines available, but we like it best for takeout. It’s a block from the B/Q subway stop, so it’s a good place to grab a bite on your way into or out of the neighborhood, and it’s also within eyeshot of Prospect Park, in case you want to eat some shawarma at a picnic table while watching people walk their kids around on leashes. Whatever you order, make sure to ask for extra hot sauce!

El Patron is a casual Mexican restaurant about a block away from Prospect Park. It has two connected spaces with a ton of big tables for groups, as well as some sidewalk seating during the summer. We particularly like the al pastor tacos and the fact that the chips and salsa are free, but there’s a huge menu of burritos, fajitas, and house-special tacos as well.
