New York's secret restaurant gardens

I Coppi

You can’t get more quaint that a flowery, brick-walled garden to enjoy the brick-oven dishes at this East Village Tuscan eatery. Simply dressed pizzas share roasting space with branzino, baby chicken and fennel-and-rosemary potatoes; a solid wine list makes the trip all the merrier. There's also a brunch menu with Tuscan–New York fusion numbers, like a tomato-basil-and-egg-topped pizza and a panettone French toast with strawberries and mascarpone.
