"For 25 years, doctors from Lenox Hill and social Upper East Siders have gathered around the warmth of this clubbish Italian restaurant’s brick oven to enjoy the pizzas, langoustine with lemon thyme, and calamari in a clay pot with peas and tomato sauce. Now, the communal vibe extends to an extensive outdoor structure that has heaters, table cloths, lamps and flowers. While you are there, don’t miss the daily soups that are sure to ward off winter chill." - Beth Landman
