"Going to an Italian restaurant doesn’t have to mean spending $35 on three noodles. If you just breathed a sigh of relief, pay a visit to Cobble Hill’s Lillo Cucina, where almost everything is under $20, and it’s all excellent. The tiny, walk-in-only spot doesn’t sell alcohol or have a bathroom, but it makes up for it in free bread, and a recommendation for the best carbonara in Rome from Lillo himself. (Priceless.) Order tender artichokes swimming in olive oil, and saucy rigatoni alla gricia with crispy chunks of guanciale. And the tiramisu." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
