"Overlooking City College’s stunning neo-Gothic campus, this Italian spot gives you a reason to visit at basically every hour of the day. Sunny sidewalk lunches featuring wood-fired pizzas and solid pastas (the latter are $10 from 11am to 4pm every weekday) segue into one of the best Happy Hours in the area, with snacks like meatballs and the red or white wine of the day both running only $6). Dinner here is a bit livelier: the lights go down, the music goes up, and the chicken parm will suddenly start calling your name. But Monday evenings are good for a quieter scene when you can find deals like half-priced bottles of wine." - The Curious Uptowner
