Click here for the greatest private party menu in NYC, hands down!! Thanks for visiting!
Babbo on Waverly Place across the street from Washington Square Park - very expensive and you must have a reservation and book ahead - but, the food’s fantastic.

More reasonably priced is Il Cortile in Little Italy - pretty restaurant, good service, excellent food - much more affordable than Babbo.

CARMINES

(My personal favorite being Caffe Napoli—-BEST cannoli’s ever.)

Are we talking authentic Italian food or Italian American (red sauce) restaurants?
For authentic Italian, head over to Woodside, Queens for real Italian better than anything you’ll get in Manhattan. Most of the best authentic Italian restaurants are in the outer boroughs. The restaurant to go to here is Sapori d’Ischia.
Downtown Manhattan- Scalini Fedeli is a hit! One of the best in Manhattan.
Hell’s Kitchen- Becco is a wonderful Italian-American spot with budget prices. Keep in mind if you’re going before 8 pm, you’re going to deal with the theater going crowd.

For family style, Monte’s in the Village is very good.
