robin was wondering what italian rest in manhattan was in favor (mid+ priced) with yall ?
bruni
I always loved Il Buco - just something about that place makes me very happy
tell Robin she needs to join us on DMTree and ask her self :-) would be great to have her here. Falai.
Falai is great as mentioned above. Pastas are amazing. But it's a very modern NYC-ish Italian (it ain't rustic!).
Falai Caffe is the same sort of food but slightly cheaper price point and maybe a tiny bit more relaxed.
Lupa was always my favorite for something a little more traditional, but I haven't been there in a couple years now. I'll bet it's still great though.
Il Bucco, as already mentioned, is nice although I've had some mixed experiences there (but the good meals were really good.)
Had an amazing meal not long ago at A Voce. Expensive, but I really recommend this one if the price isn't too crazy.
And I had a pretty good meal at Locanda Verde recently. Definitely a happening spot. Nice room that is always crowded and buzzing. Chef came from A Voce.
There's a couple great ones in Brooklyn too (Locanda vini e olii and al di la)
Jim is the new food critic on Sus!!!
Otto can do in a pinch too, but for pizza I would go elsewhere like Co. which I heard rocks
robins been to locanda vini e olii in bkln and liked it.
welcome and thanks forkandpen. (if my search is correct a SF based food blog writer. at least till jan/09.) thanks yall and ill leave it to her to comment now (dial-up connection not withstanding.)
Co. good, not great. Ate there after Slough opening. With Robin.
sad to hear.....you would think Co had all the ducks lined up to rock
I am so grateful for your many suggestions and look forward to trying each of them! We had our first crop of foraged chanterelles with some pasta and smoked salmon this week. They have a more intense apricot fragrance this year. Delayed response due to visiting nephews, not dial-up.
