Milk & Roses

Italian bistro featuring boutique wines, imported beers, & strong espresso drinks. Great atmosphere, spacious garden & space available for private events. A romantic spot at what feels like the edge of the world (although it is only the edge of Brooklyn), this quiet café is a special little secret out here in Greenpoint. Milk & Roses has a decidedly European atmosphere - dark, comfortable and almost mysterious in its hushed grandeur. The walls are lined with books, a collection the owner and his wife have acquired over time, and a piano sits modestly, waiting for the evening to come on Tuesdays, Thursdays and the weekends, when a pianist plays through the night. The espresso is soft and mild in flavor, and the Italian food  is delicious and well priced. When the weather is obliging, venture into the back garden for some al fresco dining.
