[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] Sette Enoteca e Cucina
WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses. We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each. Are we right? Are we wrong? YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.
Here's a conversation you may have had:
You: Honey, you want to go to Sette (pronounced: SET) tonight?
Your Wife: You are a complete moron. It's pronounced Set-tayyyy! I know this because I traveled to Italy for one week back in college in 1994 so I KNOW what I'm talking about.
You: I don't even care.
That's my attitude, anyway. SET, SET-TAYYYYY, whatever. I go with the non-fancy pronunciation, mainly because I'm not Italian and I don't want to sound like one of those pretentious dbags who try to inject little ethnic pronunciations and colloquialisms into basic conversation just to sound moderately cultured and hip. They're all like, Hey, buddy, I'll see you MANANA! And I'm all like, Hey, BLOW ME.

If you can make it out of the house without strangling your significant other to death over how to say the name of this damn restaurant, you should probably order these two things: 1.) a bottle of wine and 2.) the Grilled Hanger Steak ($22). Served with creamy chive mashed potatoes and fried cipollini, this is the best thing you can get here.
Or, maybe I'm wrong.
What's your favorite thing to get at this restaurant that you can't pronounce?
