Frank Bruni gives a largely positive review of Sette Enoteca, the Park Slope italian restaurant. Citing some unevenness, Bruni clearly thinks the young restaurant in on the right track:

Sette aspires to sophistication and wants to telegraph that it’s in touch with the latest trends and on the hunt for distinctive ingredients. The care with which its menu and best dishes are put together underscores the aim of an increasing number of restaurateurs in Park Slope, which seems to be especially fertile soil for Italian cooking. They shoot for more than just excellent neighborhood restaurants. They shoot for excellent restaurants, period. But Sette isn’t too full of itself. It doesn’t let its ambitions trump the relaxed atmosphere in its attractively dark, oppressively loud dining room. Nor does it let those ambitions distract it from trying to win diners’ hearts in direct, unpretentious ways.

How have other people’s experiences stacked up?
