About Cafe Mars
Caf? Mars is an unusual Italian restaurant, nestled in the heart of the historically Italian neighborhood of Gowanus, Brooklyn. Since Mary 2023, we have sought to honor tradition while expanding the definition of what an Italian restaurant can be.Whereas many Italian restaurants tend to use a magnifying glass to zoom in on specific regions and traditions, we instead reach for a telescope. Caf? Mars menus shine a light on overlooked classics and unexpected flavors that aim to reframe what it means to go out for Italian.Important Note! For the month of April, Caf? Mars will transform into an Italian izakaya! All dinner service on Wed, Thur, Friday and Saturday will exclusively feature a full menu of Caf? Mars' vision of itameshi cuisine. Besides all the food, our beverage menu will feature new, Japanese-inspired cocktails, beer, wine, and plenty of sake! You can reserve your spot now. We hope to see you!For parties larger than 8 please email info@cafemarsbk.com!
