"The walk-in-only Bar Pitti will never not be trendy. Its spacious patio on the border of Greenwich Village and the West Village ensures this, as does the unpretentious Italian food that’s slightly better than it needs to be. If you want to eat springy, housemade black truffle pasta at a sidewalk table where you might have a view of Rihanna, there’s no better choice. OK, you probably won’t see Rihanna, but you shouldn’t have to wait more than half an hour to get in, and you might run into some people you used to date." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, willa moore, will hartman
