Yesterday we checked out Hopeland, the new Italian joint at 320 Atlantic Avenue, the old Jolie space. It opens tomorrow for dinner. It’s being run by the proprietor of Cobble Hill’s Broken English and the building’s landlord, both of whom are Italian. They came up with a menu that is pasta heavy but features other specials like steak, hen, and salads. Prices are running from around $15 to $25. The owner tells us he wants Hopeland to be a “community spot” where families can come or people can just stop in and grab a drink at the bar. The backyard will open up in the warmer months.

Yummmm! Have been there twice now- once for dinner and once for brunch. It’s delicious and authentic. I lived in Italy for a year so I know real Italian food. I will definitely be frequenting this joint- its a keeper. My favorites: branzino, lemon pasta and kale salad oh and ricotta pancakes are Delish!!
i’d probably be more likely to try it out if i *didn’t* know that it was from the Broken English folks…
