This intimate restaurant in the hipster neighborhood of Williamsburg is also surprisingly family-friendly. The decor features odd geometric shapes that are fun for kids, and according to Brooklyn mom Julia Chaplin, “the waiters are very playful and make [my two-year-old daughter] Tuesday feel sophisticated and grown-up. They constantly bring her fun things to munch on, like cups of ice.” Isa’s simple, Italian-influenced pared-down fare is family friendly. A wood-burning oven makes everything taste rustic, and crowd-pleasing pasta dishes are always on the list.
