Focolare

This lively Italian restaurant is one of the more popular places on Little Italy's bustling Mulberry Street. A casual atmosphere, friendly staff and simple environment make dining here a pleasure. The soups are hearty and the Filet Mignon Valdostana is masterfully stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella and smothered in mushroom sauce. While this and other restaurants in the neighborhood can be packed with tourists on the weekends, Fratelli is an especially good choice during the week.
