"This charming West Village red-sauce Italian is a welcoming neighborhood gem, housed in a great corner space on Christopher Street where the doors are often flung open in warmer weather. Regardless of the season, the chicken parmigiana is a faithfully executed take on the classic, a generous portion swimming in tomato sauce, coated with fresh mozz, and served with a steak knife for cutting through the thick cutlet. Frank Sinatra is often on the soundtrack, and if he’s not, he’s featured prominently behind the bar, via framed portraits and other ephemera hung on brick walls." - Alexandra Ilyashov
