"Overlooking City College’s stunning neo-Gothic campus, this Italian spot gives you a reason to visit basically every hour of the day. Sunny sidewalk lunches featuring wood-fired pizzas and solid pastas (the latter cost $12 from 11am to 4pm every weekday) segue into one of the best Happy Hours in the area, with snacks like meatballs and the red or white wine of the day both running only $6. Dinner here is a bit livelier: the lights go down, the music goes up, and the chicken parm will suddenly start calling your name. But if you want a quieter scene and half-priced bottles of wine, come on a Monday evening." - the curious uptowner, sonal shah
