Marine Park, Brooklyn: Pizzeria Del Corso
We live in Sheepshead Bay, so Ave. U is in our neighborhood. After work, I went to Pizzeria del Corso to pick up a pie. Nino is really something else. He is engaging, enthusiastic, optimistic, and watching him make the pie was a terrific experience. You don't even have to ask him to give you an exhibition--he's glad to do it. He speaks knowingly of pizza and food and economics. He's making his own mozzarella and told me that he's going to start curing his own prosciutto and pancetta in his basement. This is one talented guy--plus he works his heart out with the enthusiasm of someone who really loves what he does. His pie was absolutely delicious. He made us a half Margherita, half caramelized onions with prosciutto. The crust was crunchy and perfectly charred on the edges and the bottom. The cornicione was tasty and crackly. The mozzarella was tasty and creamy, the onions perfectly caramelized, the sauce perfectly made and perfectly simple. His pizza menu has combinations that are well thought out by someone who has cooked for a long time. Nino is only 24 years old, but has been doing this since he's 13. We can't wait to go back and eat our way through the menu. Good luck, Nino!
Best place to eat for Mom in NYC
hey...if your mom likes thai food and you're looking for a very unusual atmosphere with a pool in the middle of the restaurant and a huge buddha sitting in the middle, why not take her to williamsburg and eat at: sea.
great prices, clubby atmosphere, live dj after a certain time. weekends can be busy, best to arrive around 6:30 or so.
my mom always takes everyone out for dinner to celebrate her birthday and we go to sea all the time.

Smooth, sublime and existential. This place flows. Slicing open the half moon shaped calzone a broth of heavenly juices flows out. Putting my fork to the creamy mozzarella burrata and more flavor and juices flow out. The pear gelato was the perfect temperature not too cold or too warm, it's subtle powerful flavor flowed flawlessly onto my tongue redefining what a pear should be. The Orange Heavenly Delight Cake would have made Louis the Sun King overflow with pleasure. Every element of the Heavenly Delight Cake perfectly complimented itself, and I don't know how Gianna the chef did it, but the entire wedge of cake literally vanished on my palate. I thought I would feel heavy and grounded after all the food I ate, but I quite literally felt like I could contentedly flow away to the ocean. Thanks Chef Gianna and team for an afternoon that flowed with flavor, harmony and satisfaction. Three Cheers!
