    Delicious small dishes to share - esp recommend the quinoa salad and the pastas. And make sure you try the desserts - yummy! A bit pricey however - expect to pay $100 per person with tax/tip.

    Sleek, candlelit wine bar featuring excellent an Italian wine list, is one of the city's most romantic and underrated spots. Winner of Village Voice Best of NYC Critic's choice for best wine bar!

    The honey pot and Ron burgundy are amazing to start. Actually you could skip dessert and just lick the caramel rim of the honey pot. You'll look a little weird but you might make some friends.

    Pastas star at this cozy Piedmontese spot—we love the lamb ragu. The two-course prix fixe dinner menu, available Tuesday through Saturday, is a good deal.

    Tucked away in the LES. This place has it all. Atmosphere, food & service that will impress even your toughest food critic. Musts: Broccoli tempura, pork rillettes, & short rib pasta.

    gnocchi are unreal. bombolini are a great choice for dessert. music ties it all together, 1 amazing song after another. must warn you, open kitchen makes this place so warm. avoid during heat waves.

    Eat here! Food is incredible, service is perfect, soundtrack is solid, and there's a picture of two french bulldogs cuddling in the bathroom.

    Don't miss the broccoli fritto. Might not be the healthiest preparation of broccoli but it's definitely one of the most delicious.

    Loved beef agnolotti, lamb ragu tajarin, ramps risotto, spinach side & burrata special. For dessert: order bambaloni & pb gelato. To drink: gin cocktail or dolcetti di dogliani 2008 red wine.

    the pastas are great and the veal tongue bruschetta were to die for. a bit overpriced though given the pasta portion size
