Pecoraro Latteria - Broad Channel

It pains me to leave a negative review on what used to be my favorite brunch spot in wburg. Unfortunately the menu appears to have gone through a cost cutting exercise, with smaller portions and cheaper ingredients. We used to bring everyone we knew to this place but no longer feel inspired to do that. We’ll be back and I’ll change my review to 5 stars when they bring back the old menu.

Love the food and staff! a go to for all authentic italian!

A authentic touch of Italy right here in Williamsburg. Their Focaccia pizza is the best...get it noon...fresh mozzarella ricotta made on the premises.Excellent variety of Imported delicacies...great cappuccino.

Mystical Flavor of Food and Mystique of the Restaurant Site/EnvironsWe discovered a mixture of ages at each table but all present a refreshing youthfulness, no matter the age, children, middle aged, older.Immerse in the geography of the restaurant interior: eight bar stools which catch/attract mini families and the only one diner alone present this weekend evening; notice seemingly small tables that seat three to four or a bit more lined up and placed conveniently and refreshingly geometrical. Efficient wait persons, each carefully focused on her/his task, stand out, for example, service at a corner table of five, one stalwart, well postured waitress arrayed in perfectly taut jeans connected to all her stable motion that shows her steady, stable stance, bringing out the best of the jeans and the jeans bringing out the best of holistic her. Men servers, also efficient, are the majority; one of the two women servers as described above focuses facially and geometrically perfectly both in motion and also while not moving.Lighting at our table at first seemed dim (bulb above was out it seems) but later seemed to get lighter and was fine. Overall the light from entrance to kitchen at the other end horizontally maintains its motion.Food conveys an holistic Italian feel. Delicious looking and especial tasting appetizers grab and hold diners' attention, panelle for example and also fried zucchini blossoms, as tasty as the sound of their name. Gaze at and savor Leonard Street pizza (cool name), replete with pistachio pesto, zucchini, heirloom tomato, flor di latter, chillies, lemon, burrata, basil, so many pizza parts flowing smoothly together. The pasta rigatoni jealously views its glowing pizza competitor.The restaurant's motion and taste work together and reach all diners present, as evident from their peaceful, satisfied visages.Visit again and again to continue to delve into and continue delicately to probe Pecoraro Latteria's forever mystique..

I'm actually not sure if Pecoraro is a holdover from the longtime Italian enclave in this part of Williamsburg or a new entrant, but in any case they serve some fire burrata and superb fried appetizers. My favorite dishes of the evening were the chickpea panelle far more flavorful than the version I had at Ferdinand's in Cobble Hill, and perfectly paired with a bit of lemon juice and the fried zucchini blossoms stuffed with white cheese (they graciously customized to skip the anchovies). I was actually slightly less crazy about the rigatoni dish I tried the burrata was the star of the show, but the sauce was on the blander side.The vibe at dinner time is interesting and eclectic. Some families, dimly lit, and a bit quiet ever so slight David Lynch vibes.
