Michael Galaburda: One of my favorite cappuccinos. Respectable music selection too.

Christine Tabone: duck and such a cool wine list - stunning!
Serious Eats: One of our favorite wine bars in New York, with an ever-changing dinner menu, wine classes, and an event space.
Rachel Karnofsky: Good spot for dates and groups. Went to dinner where each course was perfectly paired with a wine. Short ribs and bucatini dishes were great for a cold winter night.. Definitely heading back soon!

Italian Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 37 tips and reviews
Stephanie Chang: Have the "carciofini vura" (baby artichokes) baked and serve in a light lemon sauce, you won't regret it. I also recommend Eggplant Parmigiana, so light and layers thinly sliced, great tomato sauce!
Danielle VonShine: The Tiramisu is perfection
Barbara Serrano: Food is amazing, with decent portions and prices.

Elle Wang: amazing steak and pinot noir was superb!
The New York Times: One of the city’s great steakhouses, dressed in bordello red. Get strip steak, goose-fat potatoes, truffled cream spinach, chocolate cake.
John Ernst: Go with a decent sized group and get the seafood tower

hana c: Beef carpaccio, Caesar salad, spicy rigatoni!!
GQ Magazine: From the same trio behind Torrisi Italian Specialties, Parm, and ZZ’s Clam Bar, all the tropes of the classic Italian-American red sauce joints are at play, but better than you’ve ever had.
Time Out New York: The 2014 Food & Drink Award Winner for Best New Restaurant, Carbone has turned the traditional Italian supper club on its head. We recommend the rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and tiramisu. Read more.

Tom G: Awesome. Be sure to make reservations
Louis Vuitton: The crème de la crème in New York Jazz, the Blue Note is more of a shrine to the good old days of jazz. Get tickets to the later show and enjoy a few encore songs!
Lilly Calandrello: The music here is amazing! The list of great artist who have played the Blue Note is phenomenal. The place itself .. not so much. Somewhat of a cave. But I always enjoy it anyway :) Read more.

Italian Restaurant · Greenwich Village · 203 tips and reviews
Megan Allison: Go with a neighbor likely to be recognized by the bald guy if you'd like to dine al fresco. Pappardelle, spinach, chianti.
melissa r: Rigatoni pitti and eggplant parmesan yum!
People: Hit the ATM because this Italian hot spot is cash only. And it's worth it—the West Village standby boasts yummy pasta, sunny scenery and a shot at glimpsing frequent patrons Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
Namitta Shankar: Having had some of the best pizzas back home in CA,I was a little skeptical,but this was decent. HUGE slices for the buck, best part-free can of soda when you 'check-in' on… (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Omar Khan: Filling pizza. One slice does it. Heavy greasy, instant food coma. Try the Artichoke or the Crab- both awesome. Check in via foursquare and get a free soda! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more.
Dheerja Kaur: Don't you dare get anything other than the artichoke pizza.
Tim Fisher: Nice atmosphere. Music was great. There are some good seats close to the piano. The wait staff was very helpful with recommendations. The gin and tonic was excellent, a little on the stiff side.
The Corcoran Group: Not as stuffy or expensive as other steakhouses in the city, but just as delicious. Get the T-bone with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Save room for their famous cheese cake.
