Nonna Adelina’s Cooking Comes To Greenpoint
Nonna Adelina’s name and recipes have crossed the Atlantic with the opening of her grandson’s restaurant on Greenpoint Avenue and they are worth every bite and visit.
Owner and chef Toby Buggiani was six years-old when he moved to the United States from Rome, Italy, and after managing restaurants in Manhattan, decided to move to Clinton Hill with his wife Alexandria this past July, securing their new apartment on the same day that they opened Adelina’s – a cozy, sun-filled spot that radiates friendliness in every wall painting, glass of wine, cup of coffee, and simply yet tastefully plated dish.
“I love the community feeling here,” said Buggiani of Greenpoint and Brooklyn. “I’m so happy to be out of Manhattan.”
