+1, I recently had a spectacular meal there and the service was just as good as the food and wine ^

I used to go to Johns on 12th (on East 12th btwn 1st & 2nd - closer to 2nd Ave) a lot back when i was in school. fyi, if an old school, neighborhood red sauce joint is what you're in the mood for, you could certainly do a lot worse.
speaking of neighborhood spots, Lil Frankies in the East Village always seems to be a popular choice, Sadly I've yet to actually eat there.
