"Andrew Carmellini's Locanda Verde isn't necessarily a hotspot for celebrity sightings anymore—although never say never—but it is a crowd-pleasing Italian restaurant where you can stick your family or a group of colleagues at a big round table. And as for your order, the greatest hits still hit. Start with the ricotta crostini and the lamb meatball sliders, and end with Andrew's grandmother's ravioli in a smooth, tangy red sauce." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, willa moore, kenny yang
