Welcome to my blog

This is the first entry in Mia Bella Brooklyn, a blog that celebrates all-things-Italian in the borough of Brooklyn. I've decided to start this blog because of my love for Italy and Italian culture. Fortunately, Brooklyn is a great place to enjoy Italian culture, thanks to the existence of some old Italian neighborhoods (Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Carroll Gardens), and of some truly great Italian restaurants ranging from Al Di La (an upscale Venetian restaurant on Fifth Avenue in Park Slope) to DiFara's, arguably the best pizzeria in New York. I'll be posting often so please return!!
