Antica Pesa

Antica Pesa’s fall-inspired Il Burro Ubriaco mingles the flavors of butter-infused cachaça and Frangelico with cinnamon syrup. The Ubriaco (shh, it’s Italian for “drunk”) is garnished with a festive cinnamon stick. “Antica Pesa” translates to “antique scales.” The name traces back to Italy’s Vatican City. During the 17th century, its villagers used scales to portion food brought in from local farmers, which was then granted to the less fortunate. In 1922, the Panella family opened a restaurant near the Vatican City. In support of their generous countrymen, they named it Antica Pesa. In 2012, the Williamsburg, Brooklyn outpost was unveiled by another generation of Panellas. Cheers to the generosity the Panellas have poured into their Il Burro Ubriaco! 115 Berry St., Brooklyn, 347-763-2635, anticapesa.com
