"“When I was a kid, my grandfather, my father would take us down to the feast [of San Gennaro] to eat. And then, when I was a teenager, I worked at Forlini’s, which was actually below Canal, but still kind of considered a Little Italy restaurant, even though it was officially Chinatown. In the mornings, I'd have to go to Mulberry Street to get the cannolis for service. So Mulberry Street always has a real place in my heart, and Da Nico keeps that tradition up. To me, it’s the last really good old-school Italian restaurant there. There used to be a lot more, and over the years it's gotten a little more touristy. They make the best rigatoni alla vodka that I've ever had—a little spicy. And they have a great garden. It’s great to be in Little Italy eating good Italian food, especially in the summer.”" - sonal shah
