A 20-year Park Slope Italian corner with a real happy hour
Bar Toto is a corner Italian restaurant and full bar that has anchored the same spot at 11th Street and 6th Avenue in Park Slope for more than 20 years, opening back in 2003. It’s the kind of mellow, regulars-heavy neighborhood room that’s stroller-friendly for an early family dinner and a proper bar later on. The kitchen leans organic and grass-fed, with grilled pizzas, panini, and pastas as the signatures.
The menu is genuinely affordable, with most pizzas, pastas, and paninis in the single digits to low teens, and it’s backed by a serious all-Italian, largely organic wine list and a craft cocktail program. Weekends bring brunch from 11am, running frittate, ricotta pancakes, and eggs done several ways. It’s walk-in only, so no reservations to sweat.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour is posted on the venue’s own site and runs Monday through Thursday, 3 to 7pm, a generous four-hour window. Cocktails drop to $12, including the Negroni, Aperol Spritz, Old Fashioned, and Americano, versus $16 off the standard list; house wine, whether prosecco, white, rosé, or red, is $11; and draft beer is $6. It’s a straightforward drinks-only deal, no food specials, but the discount is real and the hours are long.
The Room
It’s a single open corner room with tables along banquettes on two walls, casual and unfussy. There’s enclosed, heated outdoor dining plus a patio when the weather allows. The crowd shifts through the day from family early dinners to a date-and-drinks scene as the night goes on.
