"You go to Pasquale Jones in Nolita for two things: wine and pizza. This Italian restaurant also serves pasta, small plates, and a few proteins cooked in a wood-burning oven—but don’t get distracted. The pizzas are puffy and chewy, with an appropriate amount of char, and the wine list always has interesting options made with Italian varietals that you’ve probably never heard of. It’s no longer difficult to get a table here, but the dining room—with its soft lighting and brown leather banquettes—is as charming as ever. Take advantage." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, bryan kim
