When I was a kid, in summer, coming back home, we would pick up L&B Spumoni Gardens' sicilian pizza, Lemon ice and pistacchio spumoni. Go to grandma &grandpa's in Bensonhurst. The quality of the ""square"" pizza... unrivalled; the taste... exquisite! The ices and the spumoni were perfect desserts to the pizza. The sauce on the pizza was the best; it was thick and it QUENCHED your craving. Years later, when I go, the same sounds; the same smells and the same ""feel"" to the place--and it is one that I associate with good family love and happy times. But most of all, the tastes are still the best! If you want to capture the essence of Brooklyn Sicilian-American popular culture, the L&B Spumoni Gardens is the place to be.
Pros: Great pizza, great people, open air dining
Cons: , tough to park
