Elisa: Papardelle 👌🏻 beautiful indoors and outdoors!
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.

Jordan Fox: The hulking veal parm is amazing. Worth it.
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.

Ben Shim: Maltagliatti with lamb ragu is my goto dish. Can't go wrong with that. And the cheesy polenta is delish!
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!

Yoav Vollansky: Delicious tuna melt
DoubleDeuce: The wine in the elevator is fun, it's not great wine but be fun and have a taste. After you get upstairs, it feels like suburban or Park Ave dining since it's spacious. Delicious food too!

Elizabeth Burstein: Olive oil tasting and olive oil cake are delicious
Stephen Alesch: I live a block away. I've been here 120 times, they still ask me where I'm from and if I've ever been here before. The food is good but turnaround of staff is high. Who's torturing these people!
The Corcoran Group: A truly amazing and romantic Italian restaurant - especially if you sit in the wine cellar.
