This beloved East Village Italian spot consistently hits the mark on three basic measures: quality, price and garden! The only trouble is deciding: the creamy mozzarella Caprese salad or the tomato bruschetta? Homemade gnocci or rigatoni with eggplant? From the meat group, there’s also a veal shank, chicken cutlet and meatloaf just like Nonna used to make. Portions run large and the bill’s comparatively small, so don’t forget your order of tiramisu for dessert.
