Foxxy B: fava bean dip & octopus apps -- incredible + a great drink menu (very Greek). gets crowded around 6:30pm
Escape Cardona: This place is a gem. Dim lighting, the decor and music sets an awesome lively vibe that makes you forget you're in NYC. Try the zuccini chips, greek salad, the spanakopita , grilled octopus . So good.
Naz Colakoglu: Hidden Gem! Real yummy greek restaurant. By far the best in east side and could easily compete with Kyklades and Pylos. Things to order: octopus, spicy cheese, mousakka , salad #yum

Wynne: The sweet potatoes with sea salt and pecorino are the best!
Linds: Great midtown lunch option, line goes quickly. Even with the line snaked almost out the door, the wait to receive my order was only 11 min. Loved the tofu w the chipotle mayo on the side.
Tara Dîana: My favorite paleo lunch spot. I typically get the chicken with broccoli and the curried cauliflower!

Italian Restaurant · SoHo · 301 tips and reviews
Jon Pressman: Artichoke and bean dip is amazing
Village Voice: It's hard to go wrong with a toothsome pasta filled with truffled mascarpone, in a silky rich butter sauce, but they do it best here. The cappelletti with a sprinkle of prosciutto is the way to go.
The Corcoran Group: Michael White does it again! This spot isn't nearly as expensive as his other upscale restaurants, but the pasta is exceptional. Must order dishes: the lamb crostini, cappelletti, & any of the gelati.

Jeremy Freeman: The spaghetti al limone and the bolognese were very tasty! The complimentary bread with olive oil and white bean dip is great too. Music choice wasn't what we expected but enjoyed it.
Danielle Purslow: My favorite restaurant in NYC. Must try: spaghetti a limone, salsa cruda, black salt Caesar and kale panzanella.
The Local East Village: Rachel Dratch of SNL says, "Supper is my favorite East Village place, maybe my favorite New York restaurant. They have these really cool party rooms that are hidden." Read more.
