bittersweet chocolate and pear cake

Almost two years ago, Alex and I met friends for dinner at , an always-packed, funky mom-and-pop Italian restaurant in Park Slope that not only doesn’t take reservations, it has no room for you to stand around while you wait for one (unless you go to the adjacent wine bar). It helps to know someone who works there.
