Subject: convivium osteria
steve » where is convivium and what kind of menu do they have? I feel like I've seen it mentioned in passing 10 times now but have no real picture of it.68 5th Avenue near St. Mark's. Signage is very inconspicuous so easy to miss. Menu is Mediterranean with an emphasis on Portuguese and (I think) Spanish influence, as well as Italian. (One of the owners is Portuguese and one Italian.) NY Times review: http://tinyurl.com/ylfzw9
mypasswordwontwork » I've heard great things about Applewoods but not yet been there.It's really good, and I'd recommend it.

8thandPrez » Al di la - their seasonal raviolis are sumptuous. Hands down the most romantic place to eat if it's snowing. Total bitch getting a table though.True, especially since they don't take reservations (it's on 5th & Carroll, btw), but you can put down your name, go around the corner to their wine bar, and have a nice chat and a good selection, then go to dinner 45 minutes later...

Subject: La Villa?
can someone please explain to me why La Villa is constantly crowded and busy when the quality of the food is on a par with an Olive Garden? I thought Brooklynites were relatively sophisticated foodies in general. The food at this place smacks of crappy Long Island italian--it's awful!! Does anyone know any really good Italian places in Park Slope? Sorry to sound so critical, but I've given it about 5 chances over the past year and a half, and it has greatly disappointed each and every time. AND I had to wait a minimum of 20 minutes to be seated in every single instance.brooklynpotter » still, dim-sum brunch would be a welcome addition. as would a real deli.SO true.

It's kid friendly, spacious, and the pizza is better than most. FWIW I've never had to wait for a table there, but we mostly get take-out.

Craving pastrami now.....oh man, katz's is so gross. i mean really, really disgusting. how can you eat there? even the knishes are bad. how can you make a bad knish? and sadly, 2nd ave deli is now a bank.

Carnivore » The only think to get at Katz's is the pastrami, but the pastrami is better than anywhere else.but what's pastrami without a decent pickle? or decent mustard? or a bowl of soup to start? and every time i think of the place i think of... buy a salami for your boy in the army.

However, the chopped liver at 2nd was unmatchable. It was also a much cooler space then Katz's. I hate that ticket thing. That said, I'm stopping by about 6 today.
Which reminds me of when Bush the Elder was president. He went to Carnegie Deli when he was in NY and ordered a BALONEY SANDWICH ON WHITE BREAD WITH MAYO! When they interviewed the Carnegie Deli owner afterwards, he said, "What a weenie!"Subject: The soup shack!!
The soup shack on NW side of 4th & 11th!! The place is literally a shack....Built out of 2x4's with no sign. It's actually a flower shop, but they have about 10 soups all year long and they're all $3.50 for a pint. Secondly, and this is even more awesome: They have the best tamales and horchata I have ever had. And that's saying something because I am from San Diego. It's owned by a sweet Argentinian guy and there are always a few little kids running around. You'll love it, I swear!!Carnivore » [quote="theoryofpractice"][quote="brooklynpotter"]still, dim-sum brunch would be a welcome addition. as would a real deli.SO true.[/quote] At least Park Slopers near the F have a short hop on the train to Katz's.

italianfoodjunkie » can someone please explain to me why La Villa is constantly crowded and busy when the quality of the food is on a par with an Olive Garden?I've never eaten at Olive Garden, but the takeout pizza at La Villa is dandy. Their Speciale is just the thing after a long day doing whatever you're doing that makes it impossible to imagine cooking dinner.
italianfoodjunkie » Does anyone know any really good Italian places in Park Slope?al di la that's why there's such a wait to get a table . . .

I just have not liked the pizzas I have gotten there at all. Why doesn't someone open a decent pizza joint with reasonably priced pizzas--I know, I know Anthony's but I have found that place up and down and I get the sense they won't be around long.

I love Anthony's. Why do you think they won't be around long? I agree about La Villa, gross. I'd rather go to a Pizzeria Uno. I had dinner at Stone Park this weekend and was not impressed. The food was just okay, the service was just okay, the dining room was overly bright, my husband's entree was cold and clearly had been sitting for a while, my creme brulee was cold. And -- I hate to say this since I feel like I'm always defending the children of Park Slope on this board, but there was a young child in clunky shoes or maybe even tap shoes who was continuously running back and forth across the dining room and no one did a damn thing about it.
