Saraghina...

One of the spots on our 'places to find in Brooklyn' list was Saraghina. Abi had read about it on her Time Out app and I'd seen photos of it on a blog - so we decided we'd go and find it this afternoon.

It doesn't look like much from the outside - it looks pretty shack like really, but inside it's been really nicely done. With lots of reclaimed wooden tables, lots of different types of chairs, big old hand painted signs on the walls and nice soft lighting, it's lovely.

There's a little cafe/bakery section as your walk in the door, but then behind the shelves of wine and jams there's the restaurant bit...

The menu was great, with lots of lovely brunch things like eggs benedict and french toast, lots of yummy sounding sandwiches, but we'd heard that it was a great pizza restaurant - so we had to order some to see what the fuss was about.

We shared an absolutely delicious, freshly baked sausage and mozzerella pizza and a calamari and shrimp sandwich - they both vanished within a few minutes, they were SO tasty. 

I've not had much pizza in New York really, but from what I know Lombardi's in SoHo is the oldest and the best, but I have to say that I think Saraghina might have taken to top spot for me. It was amazing. It was so fresh and tasty and even the crust was delicious!

The whole place was great, it was busy but not loud, it was big enough but cozy enough and it felt like a bit of a secret place too, it was just right. We loved it. I have a feeling we'll be going back there pretty soon for some more of that pizza... Mmmmmmmmm!
