Il Mulino New York

Categories: Night Life, Restaurants

Neighborhood: Greenwich Village

Cuisine: Italian

86 W 3rd St (between Thompson St & Sullivan St) New York NY 10012

+1 212 673 3783

Another of the Villages really outstanding Italian restaurants that seldom gets any bad rep, Il Mulino serves some of the most "complete", for the lack of a more descriptive term, Italian food available in NY. Dishes such as Ravioli and lamb are presented in their purest and most unsullied forms and simply make you happy to be alive. The seafood that swans out of Il Mulino's kitchens is equally me ... read more >
Ai Fiori

Categories: Restaurants

Neighborhood: Midtown

Cuisine: Italian

400 5th Ave (between 36th St & 37th St) New York NY 10018

(212) 613-8660

As soon as you step through their doors, Ai Fiori is completely accommodating. The wait staff are truly knowledgeable and will be able to describe and direct you to the perfect meal. No trip to Ai Fiori is complete without having their lauded Uovo and Lobster Vellutata. The dish is simply fantastic. The Trofie Nero is a combination of the home cooked black squid ink pasta with toasted bread crumb ... read more >
Babbo Restaurant

Categories: Restaurants

Neighborhood: Greenwich Village

Cuisine: Italian

110 Waverly Place New York City NY 10011

+1 212 777 0303

Babbo, oh Babbo. Where do we start! This little piece of heaven in the Village is worth anything, and I mean anything it takes to get there. The tasting menu with wine pairing on its own is the closest to heaven on earth. Babbo's service is excellent but not intrusive, the food is simply outstanding and the ambiance light and unpretentious. Among Babbo's excellent offerings are a braised oxtail gn ... read more >
Alto

Categories: Restaurants

Neighborhood: Midtown

Cuisine: Italian

11 E 53rd St (between 5th Ave & Madison Ave) New York City NY 10022

+1 212 308 1099

It has been said that the best thing that happened at Alto was Michael White and the changes made seem to be working well. The rather strident reds in the old décor have been toned down somewhat with a pleasing green and oatmeal scheme now in evidence. The food, however, remains heavenly with old standards such as the seared scallops with marcona almonds, the veal chop and pancetta and criminally ... read more >
Del Posto

Categories: Night Life, Restaurants

Neighborhood: Meatpacking District

Cuisine: Italian

85 10th Avenue Between 15th Street and 16th Street New York City NY 10011

+1 212 497 8090

Del Posto is one of those establishments that seldom get mauled in reviews and even when somebody does have a gripe it always seems to be tinged with grudging respect. Del Posto's outstanding food also represents good value for money considering the sheer quality. The lunch prix-fixe is outstanding and consists of an amuse-bouche which includes risotto balls and mortadella in delectable pastry amo ... read more >
In Vino

Categories: Restaurants

Neighborhood: East Village

Cuisine: Italian

215 E 4th St (between Avenue A & Avenue B) New York NY 10009

(212) 539-1011

In Vino's name is in part indicative of what the uninitiated can expect from this great East Village Italian eatery. Their wine selection is extensive, well balanced and very well presented. I did say in part though as the other noteworthy characteristic of in Vino is a truly memorable dining experience. One can choose from fave's like bowling ball sized meatball starters that would have grandma i ... read more >
