Croccante
Worth the trip?
Worth considering.
Worth seeking out when you want brunch to be genuinely different.
Our Take
A Detroit-style pizza restaurant serving Georgian-inspired brunch shouldn't necessarily make sense, which is part of why Croccante is so much fun. The star is khachapuri: boat-shaped bread loaded with molten cheese and finished with egg yolk and butter.
Chef Hakan Kostek brings his family's baking roots into a brunch menu that goes well beyond the predictable eggs-and-pancakes formula.
