Ten of the Best Places in Brooklyn to Gorge Yourself on Cheese
Russo’s Fresh Mozzarella and Pasta
For a classic Italian staple in an environment that couldn’t be farther from whatever’s going on over at Roberta’s, best to head to Russo’s. They’re primarily a place to stock up on fresh cheese and pasta (hence the name) but they also make sandwiches on-site, and $8.95 will get you an enormous caprese sandwich filled with fresh vegetables and some of the best, most lovingly crafted mozzarella in all of New York. Best to buy an extra ball of it so you can try to re-create this one on your own. There’s no way you can go wrong, really.
