Osteria il Paiolo is a gem and a welcome addition to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
The neighborhood is a hip place, reminiscent of a European-style neighborhood with a touch of youth, fun, and whimsical with a little funkiness, without being contrived. It's easily accessible for Manhattanites—worth the trip and only a hop and a skip from Manhattan.
Osteria il Paiolo stands like a mirage, an oasis in the desert among the local eateries. The interior is like a trendy art gallery surrounded by brick walls mounted with artwork and includes paintings by local artists.
