Our story

Made with care, since 2017.

Casa Borgo opened in 2017 on a quiet stretch of Chapel in Brooklyn.

Ava Reyes spent 16 years working in kitchens across the country before deciding to open the kind of place they'd want to visit every week: relaxed, generous and serious about the details.

Today we're a small team of cooks, bakers and hosts who love what we do. Many of our regulars have been with us since day one — some of them have even become part of the team.

Sourcing

Local, seasonal, honest

We work with a small group of local farms, millers and producers, and the menu changes with what they bring us. If something isn't at its best, it isn't on the menu.

Our coffee, flour, produce and dairy all come from within a few hours of Brooklyn, and we compost or donate everything we can.
