Mike Nickerson: Potato gnocchi is a MUST, as are the roasted mushrooms. Extraordinary restaurant, all New Yorkers must try at least once.
Alison Katz Danes: One of my favorite restaurants in NYC!
Noah Weiss: Sneaky good brunch. Pastries baked in-house, solid egg dishes, and some great pasta if you need to eat off a hangover. Double bonus points for taking reservations.

Susan J Campbell: Everything was SO GOOD. But the artichokes are extraordinary. Also the raddicio salad!
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.

Eric Morris: Excellent food and wines. Small and intimate but lively space.
Noah Weiss: New Italian small plates spot from the Aria team, perfect for a date with the same great value and even more cozy than the original. Burrata, lamb, all the pastas including bucatini, creme brûlée.
Elyse Estrada: New favorite! Bruce the manager is a gem! Get the burrata (always a special app), kale salad, spaghetti polpetti, tortellini w/cream sauce. Pair it w/a bottle of Super Tuscan & finish w/bread pudding!

Nicolette Romero: The mushroom truffle fettuccine is to die for. Make sure to get a table in the adorable garden.
Tim Vetter: Try the restaurant where Lady Gaga, just barely pre-fame, worked as a waitress. (The staff famously made her cry)
Rewan Parti: Sit in the back garden, order the calamari with mint leaves and cauliflower appetizer. Along with spinach and buffalo cheese ravioli! Do try the tiramisu.

Cassie Caplan: The happy hour deals are perfect. Wine and cocktails: two for $13! Don't leave without ordering a pizza!
stephanie scheper: Probably the best meal I've had in 2014. Amazing ambiance & cocktails - loved the prosciutto prawns, kale caesar salad, duck carbonara and the capicola pizza!
The Corcoran Group: Delicious and unique options offered with the all you can drink brunch special. If you're really feeling dangerous, order the prosecco tray at an additional cost to make your own brunch cocktails.
