I love SEaport area on a nice sunny day. Last Saturday I found another jewelry hidden - beautiful italian rustic trattoria with a brick oven for pizza lovers. I am not a pizza fun, but it was just amazing-thin crust, crispy with fresh rucola and best prosciutto i've tried. And spaghetti carbonara was just perfect, I love the seaport area and last Saturday I found a hidden jewel behind Fulton street.good food and service but the pizza was the highlight . Delicious well cooked but simply delicious. A nice joint with real Italians!!!

We just moved to the Seaport area so are busy sampling the local bars and restaurants. This is tricky because the seaport area has a mix of good places (which tend to be the older places, there for some time and off the main tourist drag), so-so places (if you see Wall St types inside, they are probably past their prime) and bad (the ones who cater to the one-time-only visitor never expected to return. We tried Il Brigante unsure of what to expect, since it looks a bit touristy from the outside. Having lives in Little Italy, Chelsea and the UES, I know my NY Italian restaurants and this one is definitely better than average. The decor is a bit kitsch - like it's trying to look Italian but just looking kitsch, but the ambiance is actually quite cozy (mostly in a good way, but tables are VERY close together too). Most important of all, the food is surprisingly good - we ordered a mix of appetizers for the table, which were quickly and appreciatively devoured. Main courses were great too - pasta was perfectly cooked, with a great sauce. Dining companions all seemed to rellish their food too, and pretty much everything in front of us was soon eaten. I would definitely recommend this place. It's not THE best Italian in NY, but it's one of the better ones I have eaten at and I will definitely make it a staple in my new neighborhood scene.

I just moved to the neighborhood and came in the other night to get a pizza. It was cozy, I sat by the oven. My boyfriend and I got these delicioius fried meatballs called polpeti, the meats and cheeses plate, and then we got the vegetable pizza and one with prosciutto and arugula. They were amazing, really the best part of the meal.... I will definitely be ordering from here all the time. Plus we got this almond paste dessert which was wierd and delicious at the same time. So glad I discovered authentic italian in the neighborhood!
