CASA DI CAMPAGNA...RED HOOK AND RED SAUCE AND MORE

THE RED HEAT left behind a need for respite and a hunger for comforting food and the sight of waters running cool. And yet there was a thirst for discovery too.  117 Columbia street in Red Hook/Carroll

Shrimps and ravioli



Tortoni

Gardens has some hot spots for sure including Pok Pok which we haven't tried,but the Shrimp in hot sauce on the menu here was what drew me in. And there were available seats including in the garden(too wet a night). The Shrimps turned out to be likable but not the Vincents' or Umbertos' way. The true delight was in how likable the waiter from Detroit was and the warm decor and the friendly vibe and the wonderful broccoli rabe and ravioli and Caesar salad and and and tortoni(childhood friend in a paper cup with coconut crumb top).
