"With a full bar and a porch-like outdoor area, this Italian spot near the 125th Street subway station is roomy enough to bring your entire extended family, though you might have to strain your voices over the generic remixes. 314 is also a good spot for a brunch or dinner date with sweet-but-strong cocktails with silly names (like Gym Tonico), and a red, white, or vodka pie with a light crust that’s just a little wetter in the middle than a typical NYC pizza. The menu is fully fleshed out with things like radicchio salad, and arancini that come out hot and gooey with a side of marinara that’s more like liquid tomato lava." - willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, will hartman
