"Picture, for a moment, the platonic ideal of an East Village Italian restaurant: brick walls, candles, pasta on the tables. Il Posto Accanto is the place you’re imagining. While there are certainly other East Village Italian places like it, Il Posto Accanto seems to get less attention, despite being better than almost all the others. For extra credit, they also have a really excellent wine list with bottles starting at $35 going all the way into the several hundreds." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
