We were even invited to their 1 year celebration. The food was hit and miss right after that. We still went for another year or two, but less often. We stopped because it became more miss than hit.<br /><br />Casa Rosa - Gone (Due to death of owner)<br /><br />Sam's - NOT clean for years (But at least the cat stopped jumping on the table)<br /><br />Red Rose - Lost it's "A" Rating, again. It has gone down-hill since the co-owner (Wife/Ann) passed away. The son's wife is there now a couple nights a week. Avoid the place when she's there. LOL<br /><br />Cladine's - Too BAD it's not closing. LOL (Nasty people - Nasty Food)<br /><br />Kittery - Good for brunch, but that's about it.<br /><br />Now Fragole - Going: due to in-house back biting (But mostly due to poor food)<br /><br />Maybe it's time for a NEW Food Revolution. (Hopefully Vinny's on Smith will stay around, and stay with an "A" rating)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-57258553753477012682015-06-16T16:51:43.936-04:002015-06-16T16:51:43.936-04:00If your website got hacked, why would you buy a ne...If your website got hacked, why would you buy a new domain rather than just fix it? Sure looks like the disgruntled partner controls the original domain.<br /><br />I kind of don't care about the warring partners though. The food is still very good and well priced.

Fragole has been a restaurant around for years and I haven't noticed any decline in the food or service. With their affordable prices and delicious bolognese sauce I am good.

People like you are so hell-bent on blaming all of the neighborhoods issues on gentrification that you don't even bother with the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-28110871796149800602015-06-11T15:22:44.672-04:002015-06-11T15:22:44.672-04:00Y'all chill.

So don't give me any of this how long you lived in the neighborhood or are you Italian crap, cause I know good food no matter how long I lived here or what part of Umbria I'm from. Update: I'm not from any part of Umbria. But gosh darn I have not not noticed any decline in the food or services in my tenure as a south brooklyn resident. So if you want your Italian food straight up real, goto Vinnies, if you want it with a smack on the back with watered down wine and random upcharges sneaked in, gotta Red Rose. If you going for nona's b-day goto Marco Polo. If you want to take your hot date, goto Frankie's. If you want to go with your yupster friends goto Brucie. BUT, if you want to go with your mom, your wife, your kids, your everything and anything on anyday and reliably get some of the best pasta dishes on this side of the East River, you goto Fragole.

I like them better than Frankie's and if you take price into consideration, this is one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood and my go to Italian. I've been going to Fragole for 11 years and I'll be very sad to see it go.<br /><br />Andres has other restaurants in Park Slope and Clinton Hill with similar menus but I haven't been to either of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-32488775069353986202015-06-11T14:15:52.794-04:002015-06-11T14:15:52.794-04:00Bully here...

Fragole was the first place Mrs. Bully and I ate just after we found our apartment (before she was a Mrs. Bully). I suppose some place will take this spot pretty quickly. It would be a great place for my wine and pottery concept called "Gulp and Sculpt."
