"Bella Dea, from the owner’s of LA’s Crudo e Nudo, serves crudos, oysters, natural wine, and a mix of small cooked seafood dishes. The seafood is of excellent quality, but the dining room is super casual. They share the space with Breakfast By Salt’s Cure, which closes before Bella Dea takes over operations in the evening, so you can burrow into a cozy breakfast nook while you eat some oysters with pink-peppercorn mignonette. This is a low-key spot for light bites that works well for a date when you want the romance of the West Village but none of the chaos. " - Team Infatuation
