Italian
For modern, handmade-pasta-focused Italian: Misi in Williamsburg, Torrisi in Nolita, and Don Angie in the West Village.
For the classic neighborhood-Italian feel: I Sodi for Tuscan in the West Village, Emilio's Ballato for old-school Italian-American in SoHo, and Via Carota, a no-reservation neighborhood favorite; go for lunch.
I Cavallini in Williamsburg, from the team behind The Four Horsemen, is more of a spin on Italian than a traditional take. Natural wine and a looser menu, but doing things at a very high level.
Misi
Contemporary-chic Italian dining space serving elevated antipasti and handmade pasta dishes.
Torrisi
Mulberry Street Italian-American restaurant from the team behind Major Food Group, with a luxe red-sauce menu.
Don Angie
Serves Italian-American classics with wine and cocktails in a marble-accented space.
I Sodi
Tuscan-style fare, wines & cocktails lie in store at this compact, romantic restaurant.
Emilio's Ballato
Old-school waiters set the tone at this longtime Italian restaurant and celebrity hangout.
Via Carota
Italian trattoria serving traditional plates & apéritifs in a rustic, cozy space.
I Cavallini
I Cavallini is the Williamsburg Italian-leaning restaurant from the Four Horsemen team. A spin on Italian rather than a traditional take: natural wine, small plates, dialed in. The room is small. The menu rotates. Reservations are tough.
Must order: The pasta of the day, A handful of small plates to share, A bottle off the natural wine list
