Anella

The secluded back garden is the place to be at Anella, reason alone to visit Greenpoint. To start, revel in the warm bread baked fresh in a terra-cotta flowerpot. The dinner menu has Italian accents, such as creamy burrata with prosciutto di Parma, simple pasta with marinara and fresh basil and herb risotto with sugar snap peas and mushrooms. At brunch, dishes are more American in style, with skirt steak and eggs and fried chicken in a biscuit with jalapeño honey butter.
