"It's easy to forget about Pepolino. But if you need to plan a last-minute dinner in Tribeca, and the folks you're eating with are set on eating Italian, you'll be grateful this place exists. The menu is extensive, with lots of antipasti, a bunch of interesting pastas like maltagliati with veal ragu, and a variety of mains, including roasted lamb shank and a 22-ounce porterhouse. Make use of their sidewalk seating when it’s nice out." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang
