Otto Enoteca Pizzeria
With celebrity chef Mario Batali as a co-owner, this Greenwich Village restaurant has a lot to live up to; luckily, Otto certainly does. Start off your meal with an array of antipasti choices including Funghi Misti, Pancetta, and Peperonata before moving on to pastas and pizzas. Traditionalists can opt for Bianca or Marinara, while adventurous eaters can try the Pane Frattau (tomato, pecorino, and egg) or Balsamic Onion and Goat Cheese. There is also an extensive wine list and fun, gelato based dessert options. The ambiance is warm and intimate, with dim lighting and rich red tones that set a romantic vibe, perfect for date night.
