About Roman's

Roman's rewrites its menu every day, which is either an affectation or a commitment depending on the kitchen, and here it is clearly the latter — the list is short because it is dictated by what arrived. The cooking is Italian in structure, seasonal in practice, with house-made pasta that is the reliable order. It was one of the earliest natural wine rooms in Brooklyn and the list has stayed genuinely good rather than doctrinaire. The Dekalb Avenue room is narrow and warm and has been part of Fort Greene's fabric since 2010. The aperitivo hour is one of the better-kept habits in the neighborhood.
