Il Cantinori

"If you’ve ever wondered where to drink an espresso martini in Greenwich Village, look no further than Il Cantinori. Look here, too, for a white tablecloth dinner, which starts with bread and warm red sauce. There’s a long menu of Tuscan classics, but we’d encourage you to order the off-menu specials—like the textbook-perfect chicken parm, and a tri-color pasta sampler. Yes, that's a plate of three pastas for $50, but it’s not like you can get your hands on a pasta sampler any day. Lovers of Il Cantinori tend to here for every special occasion dinner, probably because once you eat here enough, the owner, Frank, will learn your name." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore
