Sunny brunch in snowy Brooklyn!

If you are looking for a great brunch spot in Brooklyn, try Scottadito.  Some friends and I planned to meet for late brunch (well, 2pm.. is that late for brunch?) on Saturday and we decided to give this little Tuscan restaurant a try.  There were six of us, and (added bonus) they take reservations, which was great because a lot of places won't take brunch reservations. 

The restaurant is a five minute walk from a few different train lines.  They have organic, sustainably grown and locally-sourced ingredients.  And this lovely sunny room, which is a real treat in the middle of snowy winter.

Brunch is $19.95 and you get unlimited champagne cocktails.  I am not a big champagne fan, so I opted for a bloody mary, which was worth the $8 or whatever it cost.  Yummy fresh ingredients and appropriate vodka/juice proportions.  The brunch menu has a manageable number of options, with all the staples well-executed.  There are several egg/omelet dishes, as well as french toast, pancakes, a few salads and a few homemade pastas.

The dishes are relatively simple with some minor twists on the basics. Featured ingredients include organic fruit, locally-farmed goat cheese and prosciutto.

If you are looking for a lovely brunch spot in Brooklyn, try Scottadito.  It's at 788 Union St in Brooklyn, between 6th and 7th Ave.  Easy walk (even in the snow!) from the R (Union) or B/Q (7th Ave).  And an even easier walk after unlimited champagne cocktails :)  You won't care about the snow one bit!
