ᴡ Herschel: Delilah!!! Worth the calls for the pasta. Papardelle was to die for
Alison Katz Danes: One of my favorite restaurants in NYC!
Noah Weiss: Sneaky good brunch. Pastries baked in-house, solid egg dishes, and some great pasta if you need to eat off a hangover. Double bonus points for taking reservations.

Andrew Galdi: Expect a LONG wait, but the food is delicious! Seasonal items and fresh pastas... everything was great
Eater: Fried rabbit, crispy artichokes, and fresh fruit are on the menu at this new restaurant from the West Village power couple. It's sort of a French bar meets an Italian country home. Read more.
Noah Weiss: The Buvette chef's take on rustic Italian small plates with rustic West Village decor. Equally tasty, great value ($90 dinner for two with wine), and the perfect date spot. Crostini are all great.

Sunny H: The spicy rigatoni is a must and the veal parmigiana is excellent.
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.

Marie La Rue: Large luxurious dining room gives this place a corporate vibe. Onion tart, focaccia and skirt steak were standouts. Try the solid Negroni. Best for business diners.
Jasmine D: Food all delicious. Onion torta and focaccia with tomato conserva for the win. Great service and ambiance. But all dishes are very heavy and oily.
Michael G.: The onion tart and rigatoni were superb. Great spot especially when you’re not the one paying

Joonseok Oh: Highly recommend the Spaghetti and meatballs. They also have a good selection of bottled craft beer.
The Corcoran Group: Very tasty, cozy and casual Italian restaurant. Try the Fettucine Ai Funghi, the House Meatballs Over Polenta, or share La Spaghettata with a large group!

Eric Fernández: If they have risotto with lamb, you must order it. It´s delicious!
Noah Weiss: New Italian small plates spot from the Aria team, perfect for a date with the same great value and even more cozy than the original. Burrata, lamb, all the pastas including bucatini, creme brûlée.
Elyse Estrada: New favorite! Bruce the manager is a gem! Get the burrata (always a special app), kale salad, spaghetti polpetti, tortellini w/cream sauce. Pair it w/a bottle of Super Tuscan & finish w/bread pudding!

Nicolette Romero: The mushroom truffle fettuccine is to die for. Make sure to get a table in the adorable garden.
Tim Vetter: Try the restaurant where Lady Gaga, just barely pre-fame, worked as a waitress. (The staff famously made her cry)
Rewan Parti: Sit in the back garden, order the calamari with mint leaves and cauliflower appetizer. Along with spinach and buffalo cheese ravioli! Do try the tiramisu.
Esther Leibel: We indulged in the truffle menu: polenta appetizer and tajerin were both amazing. We also loved the fassona meat battuta. Dessert was rich and decadent. I need to go back to try their bicerin.
lovethesecities.com: Great addition to the neighbourhood. Not just another Italian! Authentic Piedmont cuisine. Friendly service and a quaint modern space. Squash blossom, veal tonnato and scallops were all very good.
Ana T: Truffles and surprisingly good beef tartar
