On Christmas Eve, while families were quietly celebrating the holiday, burglars broke into the storage room of newly opened Borsalia Café in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It wasn’t easy breaking through the space—they had to break the lock of the hatch on the sidewalk and drill a hole in the wall that prevented access to the kitchens. 

When detectives and police arrived to the crime scene, they were surprised to notice that the only missing item was the fresh pasta prepared by Borsalia's chefs Ottavia Gnazzo and Esmeria de la Rosa. Nothing else was stolen. Valuable bottles of wine, prosecco and champagne and the money in the register were all left behind.
