"Are you wearing boat shoes? Do you have a list of the best restaurants in several European beach destinations? If so, Bar Pitti is probably in your regular rotation. This restaurant definitely attracts a scene, but we’re here to tell you it’s also a great place to stop in for a dinner when you’re wandering around the West Village or Greenwich Village, unsure of where to go. There’s an unusually large sidewalk seating area, the pastas are always great, and it’s actually not absurdly expensive." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
