DUMBO Gets New Waterside Italian Eatery, Cecconi's

DUMBO, BROOKLYN — A high-end Italian eatery with outposts in Istanbul, Barcelona, Berlin and London opened its first New York restaurant in DUMBO on Tuesday.

Cecconi’s Dumbo can be found in a renovated warehouse space at the Empire Stores on Water Street between Main and Dock streets.

The Italian eatery, which offers diners views of the Manhattan Bridge and the East River — will serve brunch, lunch, dinner and a family-style Sunday Supper.

There’s a special aperitivo menu called the 4 to 7 which pairs small bites with a specific beer, wine and cocktail all for under 10 bucks — meatballs, avocado and chickpea dip and Quail eggs plus a glass of prosecco run just $7.

The larger menu features Italian staples — pasta, risotto, pizza — but also branches out with big slabs of prime rib for dinner and ricotta hotcakes for brunch.

You can check out the brunch, lunch and dinner, dessert and reserve wine menus on the restaurant’s website.

Chef Riccardo Bilotta of the The Lamb's Club and A Voce Columbus Circle will head the kitchen, according to Gothamist.
