The Bronx restaurant’s modern Italian fare, served on a side street tucked away from the hubbub of the borough’s Little Italy, is a welcome contrast to the red-sauced Italian American food common in the area. The wine list is sophisticated, too, backed up by a menu that trumpets dishes like duck, seafood, or seasonal vegetables steamed “in cartoccio” (in a foil pouch), and a rabbit sauteed with potatoes. Roberto Paciullo, a native of Salerno, Italy, is behind Roberto’s, with not a meatball in sight. Book a table: OpenTable

The Best Places for Pasta in NYC and NJ Cafe Carmellini Link Andrew Carmellini’s namesake Nomad restaurant is like a greatest hits from his long and accomplished career, with many dishes that lean toward Italian, per his background. Consider the endive and fava bean salad, sea scallop minestrone, the duck tortellini, and veal with mushrooms. This, by the way, is an opulent room, one that feels among the most luxe on this map. Lunch includes prix fixe options.

The Best Fancy Restaurants in NYC Mar 12
The Best Fancy Restaurants in NYC Park Side Link Homey Italian fare still “reigns supreme” at the Corona restaurant — a relic of a certain type of red-sauce spot that can be otherwise hard to find. Plow through the free bread basket and antipasto plates, then head for the eggplant rollatini or baked clams. Baked pastas are the things to get for your main. Go here for dinner and then stop over down and across the street to Lemon Ice King of Corona for dessert.
Robert Sietsema/Eater NY Borgo Link Longtime Brooklyn restaurateur Andrew Tarlow ventured to Manhattan to open his rustic Italian restaurant in Nomad with a stunning, understated dining room and wood-fired oven. Come here for terrific people watching, warm hospitality, and dishes like chicken liver crostini, fried grilled peaches with wax beans, the sweetbreads risotto, sweetbreads spiedini, and roasted chicken.

Where to Eat on Thanksgiving in Manhattan Nov 12, 2024
Where to Eat on Thanksgiving in Manhattan Monte’s Trattoria Link Since 1918, this old-guard Italian restaurant has lingered below street level in the heart of Greenwich Village, and many couples have fallen in love there. Surprisingly, much of the food originates not in Sicily or Southern Italy, but from Emilia-Romagna, where chef Pietro Mosconi is from. Roasted artichokes, stuffed zucchini, and cannelloni — a rolled and stuffed pasta — are all good choices.

Where to Eat Around NYU Aug 8, 2023
Where to Eat Around NYU Roscioli Link This restaurant and wine bar expansion from Rome took over a townhouse in Soho that used to be home to the tasting menu spot Niche Niche. It’s the brand’s first location outside of Italy and has quite a wait for tables. There are tasting menus, called their Roman Feasts, which range from $95 per person without wines to $135 with reserved wine pairings, as well as a la carte options, including memorable pastas. Book a table: Capital One Dining* * Book primetime tables set aside exclusively for eligible Capital One customers. Capital One Dining is the presenting partner of the Eater app.
Gary He Emilio’s Ballato Link It’s a no-reservations affair at the Nolita restaurant, and start to finish, it’s a scene, where you’re bound to see someone famous. And that guy at the round table right when you walk in by the door? It’s likely the owner, Emilio Vitolo, with friends. Start with a glass of house red or white. Make sure you try that bread (Emilio started as a baker). Order a plate of mushrooms. Consider the stewed tripe. Move on to linguine with white clams and white wine sauce. Share a plate of sweet Italian sausage and broccoli rabe. The veal Milanese is pretty great, too.
Eater NY Torrisi Link Major Food Group has opened this Nolita restaurant in the landmarked Puck Building: It’s a revival of the team’s first restaurant, Torrisi Italian Specialties, which closed in 2015, which had grown from a counter-service sandwich shop that started in 2009. This iteration earned three stars from the New York Times for its take on Italian American dishes like linguine with a pink clam sauce or chicken alla griglia, as well as tributes to New York restaurant favorites, like an octopus nha trang. It’s a great dining room for general people-watching. If tables aren’t available, there are always the standing spots near the bar.

The Best Desserts in NYC Lilia Link If Spiaggia in Chicago is what put chef Missy Robbins on the map, this Williamsburg restaurant is what rocketed her to stardom. Lucky diners might encounter the chef hovering over the flame-spitting wood grill. Consider a plate of grilled clams followed by fettuccine with lamb sausage, tomato passato, lemon, and pecorino.

The Best Places for Pasta in NYC and NJ Bamonte’s Link Operating for over a century in Williamsburg has made this old-school, red-sauce restaurant a local legend (appearing in an episode of the Sopranos along the way didn’t hurt, either). Opened in 1900, the restaurant is still owned by its founding family, which serves up classic Italian American dishes via tuxedoed servers. Must-orders include briny scallops oreganata, spaghetti and meatballs, and the famous pork chops with pickled peppers. Don’t miss the cannoli, an off-menu dessert.

Consider dishes like the mozzarella in carrozza, where the cheese is made in-house.

The Best Kid-Friendly Restaurants in NYC Daphne’s Link The dining room of the Bedford-Stuyvesant restaurant is fun with old New York Philharmonic ephemera and a ball-chain curtain. The menu spins more playful than a nonna’s Sunday supper. Look for dishes like focaccia topped with stracciatella; crispy mushrooms with whipped ricotta; and cappelletti with short ribs and oxtails.

The Best Places to Eat in Bed-Stuy Right Now Frankies 457 Link A picturesque backyard and a neighborhood vibe are the cherries on top at the Carroll Gardens restaurant, which launched a small empire of spots focused on well-executed Italian American classics. Frankies is known for its sandwiches — the meatball Parm and the eggplant marinara are both worth trying, along with its pastas, particularly the cavatelli with hot sausage and browned sage butter. Wines are affordable, and it’s a great restaurant for groups. Reservations are recommended.

20 Leisurely Weekday Lunch Spots Perfect for Lingering May 8, 2018
20 Leisurely Weekday Lunch Spots Perfect for Lingering Al Di La Link The dark, cozy space of the Park Slope restaurant has been a favorite since 1998, both as a dining destination for Anna Klinger’s northern Italian pastas and as a dinner go-to for locals. Go for the spaghetti alla chitarra neri (black spaghetti with octopus confit, basil, and hot chile peppers) and tagliatelle if it’s a first-time visit, but know that there is plenty to explore. Listen for the specials, and prepare to wait for a table at peak hours.
Al Di La Trattoria Lenny’s Clam Bar Link On the lip of Shellbank Basin, along which cars whiz on the way to the Rockaways, this Howard Beach restaurant was founded in 1974. It’s a massive complex that concentrates on Italian seafood, but then goes on to make every other red-sauced recipe you can think of. The signed celebrity photos on the walls — including Frank Sinatra and Andre the Giant — are worth a visit, but then there’s also the lobster bisque, several kinds of baked clams, and shrimp scampi. The fried calamari is some of the best in town.
