The owners of the 7th Avenue’s Sotto Voce are bringing versions of their popular Italian formula to two new locations on 5th Avenue. Within the next month they’re going to open a bistro called Aperitivo on the corner of 1st street (shown above left). One of Sotto’s managers says Aperitivo is going to be open from early morning to late at night and have classic bistro trappings like a marble bar. A block and a half away, meanwhile, Sotto’s owners are opening a much larger “family-style” restaurant called Alta Voce (pictured to the right above). The eatery, on 5th Ave. between 2nd and 3rd streets, will sprawl over two levels and include a backyard garden and a wine cellar. Alta Voce will specialize in dishes like pasta for three or four, according to the Sotto manager, and it’s scheduled to be in business in June. Salute! GMAP GMAP
The What is a product of public school education. P.S. 54, right What? Nothing points to the poor quality of public school education in Brooklyn than The What.
“My favorite Italian restuarant in all of Brooklyn. Love the fresh fettucini with mushrooms and chicken. Who beats’em? I wanna know. Some place in Bensonhurst?”
Thanks owners!!!!
But you ain’t foolin anyone here.
If you want to be a success, don’t make both these places too family-friendly so as to scare away all the singles and couples, use more locally grown and organic food and be a little more inventive and creative with your menu.
That’s all it will take to be successful in Park Slope.
A nice interior helps a lot too.
Chef Boyardee beats Sotto Voce.
if you are going to make sweeping generalizations about schooling, i think there is a lot more negative to be said about private than public.
“Your public-school education is showing yet again.”
It’s your business if you want to battle with The What, but you need to stop dissing public school. I went to public school, got a good education there, and today I am a gainfully employed professional. There’s nothing wrong with public school, only with some of the people who attend and teach there. If you apply yourself and your parents are involved, you be as well educated in public school as anywhere. OK?
I think Olive Garden beats em.
Is the place on Union Scaditto or something like that?
You aren’t going to find better Italian food in Brooklyn than Al Di La though.
This is good. Fifth Avenue needs more restaurants.
Who beats’em? I wanna know.
There’s a great place on Union Street between seventh and sixth, but the name escapes me right now. Excellent Italian fare.
Al di La is ranked the 4th best Italian place in NYC.
This place does not make the list at all.
I think it’s probably 4th from last.
