"Need to impress a client or have a serious talk with your boss or stuff your face silently after a particularly painful meeting? Time for a sit-down, professional, and excellent lunch at Cotogna. The pasta and pizzas are superb, as are the starters. Definitely not an all-the-time spot to hit, but a place to keep in mind when you have time for a fancy lunch that also happens to be one of the best in the city. Reservations are released 30 days in advance on SevenRooms. Or you can walk up and try to go for a seat at the bar. If you want to avoid the dinner rush, come during lunch when it’s less busy—they serve mostly the same menu." - taylor abrams, jess basser sanders, will kamensky
