Dining Perfection in Windsor Terrace?
Last week the Park Slope Courier reviewed a restaurant, Da Vincenzo, that we’ve never been to (nor heard of for that matter–but that doesn’t mean much given our current social life). It sounded good and all, maybe a little too good–it read like a paid-for advertisement. The kitchen, Marshall Slater writes, is a “bastion of…
Last week the Park Slope Courier reviewed a restaurant, Da Vincenzo, that we’ve never been to (nor heard of for that matter–but that doesn’t mean much given our current social life). It sounded good and all, maybe a little too good–it read like a paid-for advertisement. The kitchen, Marshall Slater writes, is a “bastion of sparkling creativity where favorite ingredients are supremely enhanced, old charmers given a new gastronomic verve and a litany of specialties keep you coming back for more and more.” Not a single negative comment in the 30-paragraph piece. Is this place really that good? Da Vincenzo is at 256 Prospect Park West at Prospect Pl, 718-369-3590.

i miss the original regina’s bakery. anyone remember regina’s as the backdrop of the ending of “as good as it gets”?
Hear, hear, Anon 2:22… I used to live around the corner from Laura’s on Vanderbilt Street and urged EVERYONE I knew to go and try their pizza. It’s fantastic, and it’s miles above and beyond the over-hyped (but still good) Grimaldi’s in my new neighborhood of Bklyn Heights. I’ll have to travel back to Windsor Terrace to experience Laura’s once again.. I haven’t been back there in three years.
I live right near the restaurant and hoped it might be a good neighborhood standby. It’s really really not. Very mediocre food. If I want Italian, I order from Laura’s Gourmet Kitchen — good pasta and truly fabulous pizza.
Never been to this place, but if you want fantastic Italian food try Vinnie’s in Carrol Gardens. Smith St, off of Union. It is resonable and authentic.

Context is everything–if you live in WT and get your restaurant reviews from Courier Life, then this’ll be fine for that rare night when you feel like eating out. If you moved to Brooklyn and surf the web for hot dining tips, you’ll probably need to go pretty far off 9th Avenue to satisfy your appetite.
this is at the corner of prospect avenue, not prospect pl. which doesn’t cross ppw.
It is a paid advertisement. I had a friend who wrote for the Courier Life papers and they would always make him write these advertorials on stores or restaurants that spend money on ads in the paper. Spend enough with them on ads and they’ll give you a story or review as well. Needless to say, this is a very biased review and means nothing.
