"There are many, many Italian restaurants in Chelsea. There are the old-school ones, the very expensive ones, and then the ones you shouldn’t miss. Il Trillo is a combination of all three. It’s been open for more than 30 years and has a slightly dated but endearing feel. Although it can be expensive, it doesn’t have to be. Swing by with a group, order several handmade pastas, and make your way through the pretty epic wine list. The garden out back, which is open all year-round, also makes this place prime date night material." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
