"If Aita is where you bring your parents, Locanda Vini e Olii is where you bring the person you’ve been dating for a while, when you want something a bit more wine-drenched and candle-lit than an evening on your couch. The Northern Italian restaurant on Greene Ave. is in an old converted pharmacy, and the “Lewis Drug Store” sign that’s still printed on the facade of the building is inexplicably charming. Come here for a bowl of pici with sausage ragu and a negroni, and if it’s summertime, stop by their gelato cart out front, Biddrina, and get a scoop of the cantaloupe if they have it. How romantic.
