Walk over to 23rd & 8th when you're done and take the E to JFK.

I'm not a shill; I just really enjoy it there.

Thanks! I'll try it out.

Italian with quaint ambiance

We had a wonderfull meal at the Trattoria Pesce Pasta on Bleecker St, NY, NY, ie the West Village. The fish and the pasta were perfect... And the service is fast and curteous. We will return !
If you enjoy a small, quaint place for dinner this is it...

NYC Restaurants

On a recent trip to NYC we went to Ottos, Mario Bertelli's Italian restaurant. It was a delightful experience, one which I hope to repeat often. The place was packed so we waited in the bar area in front. There was a coat check provided free of charge, nice to have since winter coats take up so much room.

We were quickly seated at a small table in the back. I do mean small. Just room enough for the three of us. We made friends with our neighbors. Easy to do since their table was hands reach next to ours. When they left we had another set of friendly neighbors who talked with us also. We recommended our selections to them since we were very happy with the food choices we had made.

We ate off the appetizer menu, each of us getting a different selection and sharing. Wonderful Italian food, tasty, with a good variety to choose from.

Hey guys, I have some family staying near 50th and Madison this weekend and they asked me for a recommendation for a casual Italian restaurant. I've seen a lot of positive things posted here on Le Zie but noticed there seem to be a decent number of dissatisfied customers in recent months. Would you still suggest sending them there, or is there somewhere else not too far from their hotel that would be a better bet? Thanks.

I've just been to Casa Lever, in the Lever Building on Park and 53rd... What a restaurant..

The interiors are beautiful, top notch service and a great authentic northern italian menu.
Not a fancy one, just simple top quality italian food.

One big problem though... Expensive and expensive...
