"Da Andrea was founded on Hudson Street in the West Village in 1993 in a very small space, but 10 years later moved into the current much larger location near the New School. The menu expanded, too, from its Bolognese roots to covering food from all over Italy, including a substantial collection of Sicilian dishes like zuppe di pesce loaded with seafood, and a penne with eggplant and tomato sauce. A varied wine list at several price points is another plus." - Robert Sietsema
