Recommendation for a very nice italian restaurant in NYC

Question

Looking for a restaurant with nice ambiance where one can have a conversation

Answer 1

Italian food is very strong all over NYC.

If you like a place with great service and food, my favorite at the moment is Da Andrea at 557 Hudson street. (West Village).

Just ate there last weekend.

Answer 2

Oh - wow  - are you in for a treat!   ERMINIA  at 250 E.83rd St. (Between 2nd and 3rd Ave)

My wife and I ate here twice.  They have only about 10 tables. The place is completely lit by candle light and it is a dark, wood paneled place that just oozes romance.   It is expensive, but the food is amazing - the staff greeted us like family and when we went back two years later - they remembered our names and what we had eaten on our first visit.  Amazing.  

Answer 3

Il Cortile in Little Italy is good but there are sooo many!

Answer 4

Carmine's!!! Awesome food, great ambiance, casual but nice environment. It has a nice bar near the entrance, a large dining area, outdoor seating, parking is easy to find, the entrees are HUGE, the food quality is great.

Excellent desserts too!

I have enjoyed all of my dining experiences there. Enjoy!
