Bar Pitti

21 Best Italian Restaurants in New York | Condé Nast Traveler

"Consistently packed since its 1992 opening, Bar Pitti is best known for its outdoor seating area, which spills onto the sidewalk along Sixth Avenue. It’s an easy place to spot actors, models, rock stars, and socialites, but the food is great, too—come for a strong offering of classics executed really well, with one of the city’s best Caprese salads. It’s the perfect place to take out of town guests for an "only in New York" type of experience, where they'll see a full cross-section of downtown denizens and get a great meal, to boot." - Andrea Whittle
