Morandi
Morandi has been an in-demand restaurant ever since it brought its rustic Italian fare to the West Village, but frankly, any restaurant that Keith McNally has had his hand in can fit on this list. Nearly 20 years in and
Balthazar has one of the most coveted tables in Soho, and
Pastis, The Odeon, Minetta Tavern, and
Lucky Strike are consistently buzzing. Morandi fits in nicely with restaurants like the Beatrice and Waverly Inn, and similarly attracts the oft-trendy West Village residents.
