Brooklyn’s new Italian-American cocktail bar comes with some serious red-sauce pedigree: Ray Rando, who founded the joint alongside longtime collaborator Eric Madonna, is a former manager of Carbone.

And at East Williamsburg newcomer Bar Madonna (367 Metropolitan Ave), the team takes those good ol’ goombah traditions and gives them an irreverent twist: think a clarified Bellini on top, hot wings fired with Calabrian chilies, and, down the line, Jell-O shots shaped like classic Italian pastries.
