Some people fangirl over Taylor Swift. At Greenpointers, we get excited about the short rib ravioli at Naked Dog (47 Java St.). In fact, I’ve been known to eat said pasta multiple times in a single week. What can I say? I’m in my pasta era.Â
The difference between Taylor Swift and Naked Dog is that you most likely won’t have to wait in line to eat at the Greenpoint Italian restaurant. Naked Dog…

Great place, good food, nice people but they are pricing themselves out of the market for everybody except for the high end. To be fair to them, other restaurants in Greenpoint are too.
If you want fairly good Italian food without breaking the bank go to Scallini in Greenpoint or Carmines in Williamsburg.
