The 27 Best Italian Restaurants In New York City - New York - The Infatuation

"Sometimes, we dream that we’re in an old farmhouse in the Italian countryside. And we can come pretty close to recreating this dream by heading to Il Buco in Noho. A night at this restaurant—which opened as an antique store in 1994—feels a rustic escape from the city, and the mains here really shine. The menu changes seasonally, but you can't go wrong with the bistecca and lamb chops, and if they happen to have the risotto on the menu, you must order it." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
