22 Great Casual Italian Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"There’s no seating at this tiny takeaway spot on the border of Windsor Terrace, but that doesn’t mean Joe Brancaccio doesn’t make some of the best Italian food in the whole city. The move here is to pick up dinner to-go: meatballs, orecchiette with broccoli rabe, and rotisserie porchetta are some of our favorites. Toss a white cloth on your kitchen table, light a candle in an old wine bottle, and lay out your Brancaccio’s bounty for a private, charming meal in your house slippers." - willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus
