Briscola Trattoria

Briscola Trattoria is a modern Italian restaurant located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, founded by Chef Silvia Barban and partners Luca Pelliccioni, Federico Cesi, and Andrea Mancin. The restaurant aims to revive the charm of traditional Italian trattorias with a contemporary twist, offering hearty and comforting dishes inspired by classic recipes. Signature items include the Bomba di Silvia—a baked rice dome filled with Agerola mozzarella, green peas, and hand-rolled meatballs—and the Doppio Raviolo with spinach and ricotta. A standout feature is the Carrello dei Dolci, a dessert cart showcasing Italian sweets like Profiteroles and Zuccotto, brought directly to your table. In December 2024, Briscola was recognized as one of the "Absolute Best New Restaurants of 2024" by Grub Street, highlighting its dedication to authentic Italian cuisine and convivial dining experiences.
