NYC little Italy restaurant

[Anonymous]

Just pick the one with the most insistent waiters beckoning you from the doorway.

OP: sorry you’ve had to deal with completely useless answers. Turns out sometimes a bit touristy and festive is what the doctor ordered.

In that general area I like Emilio’s Ballato, Peasant, Rubirosa (oh c’mon pp it’s close enough to little Italy). Somebody said La Mela, I agree. It’s a vibe. Long tables, surly waiters, big bottles of cheap red or white. It’s a lot of fun with a big group though.

Can you just answer? -np

I mean, not really. I don't know anyone who goes to Little Italy to eat. Except hapless tourists.

We have to go for something related to a school project for my kid. She's making a video for a project and was assigned Little Italy. Thought I would ask for ideas since so many here are familiar. Get over yourself. Are you the gate lice poster?

Which one, dear? Quite a few people posted on that thread. And you don't have to eat in Little Italy just because you're doing a project there.

I really understand why people come to this board looking for simple answers, when it's filled with condescending a-holes!

Sorry you didn't get the answers you wanted. I guess we should have a board specifically for those seeking confirmation bias.

Honest, sincerely delivered answers from informed locals of "you should not do that, we can help you do better" makes you a condescending a-hole, I guess.

Actually, it is a requirement of her project, but since you think you know it all – why don’t you tell me which finger I have holding up?

+1

All these pretentious people are probably going to die of heart disease from eating out at their pretentious restaurants anyway so jokes on them.

And the people who suggested other restaurants are the a holes?

Oh the irony.

Her school is requiring her to visit NYC at Christmastime and eat in Little Italy? What kind of school is this? And I’m so curious to know where the other kids were assigned.

This is OP and not all of these responses are me –BUT – it was not specifically to go to New York City at Christmas time in Little Italy, I mean come on, but she is at a private school where they had to select a particular area in a large city to make a video production about. It could’ve been in Washington DC, but since we’re already going to be in New York, that is what she chose. It’s no skin off my nose to spend the evening in little Italy when my kid is looking so forward to it.

So the non-a holes are the ones:

- giving the middle finger
- wishing for the death of people and saying it is because they eat in the same style of restaurant OP is seeking
- lying about "the assignment" and pretending to be OP

And the a-holes are the ones:

- saying you can get better food of the same style for the same money just a few blocks away since NYC has some of the best Italian food in the country.

Makes perfect sense.

This thread is classic DCUM.

Hi, OP. The answer to your question is that since all the actual restaurants in NYC Little Italy are touristy and mediocre, you should just show up and pick one that looks cute. There isn’t like, a super good one to pick out ahead of time. As other posters have mentioned, NYC happens to have lots and lots of actually outstanding Italian restaurants that are in every other neighborhood, so most people who aren’t doing a school project would probably rather have a better meal. As an aside, the restaurants in Baltimore’s Little Italy are actually good.

Yet another pretentious a-hole!

OP the best restaurant is the one on Mott street that serves "Veal Parmiglia". It's to die for. You can find it east, there is a picture of all the food they serve outside the place.

/sarcasm, PP's post is sincere and true!
