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.
