OTTO Enoteca Pizzeria
Mario Batali’s affordable pizza-and-pasta joint in the heart of Greenwich Village is a crowd-pleaser, appealing to the young and the old, carb lovers (duh) and even health-food aficionados (lots of $5 veggie sides). The bustling space offers a genuine NYC feel without the exclusivity. Start with one of the fresh salads, and share a selection of the pizzas and pastas (we’d recommend the Pasta alla Norma, $10) for a casual and tasty night out. Who to bring: If you have young or teenaged visitors, OTTO is a no-brainer. Be sure to make a reservation—it’s amazingly fun to watch the old-fashioned train station arrivals board announce when your table is ready.
