"It’s more than appropriate to show up to some family dinners after biking across the city wearing rainbow Tevas and a sweaty Mets hat. Locanda Verde in Tribeca, however, is not one of those casual places. Most people make reservations in advance for dinner at this upscale Italian restaurant, since it's definitely part of the busy Tribeca scene. Prepare for bowls of really good homemade pasta, such as seasonal tortelli, potato gnocchi, and a meaty, satisfying ravioli dish. To start, we always order the creamy sheep’s milk ricotta topped with sea salt." - hannah albertine, kenny yang
