St. Anselm in Brooklyn; San Francisco's Piccino

Even though Sam Sifton's kids thought a waitress at St. Anselm in Brooklyn was "a little mean," the restaurant still got one star. Julia Kramer is as confused as the waitstaff about what's going on at Chicago's Prasino. Jonathan Kauffman is impressed by the beautiful people at San Francisco's Piccino (but not so much with the pizza). Here are the mid-week reviews:
