Best Restaurants for People Watching in Little Italy

The food was terrific and the service was great. A little noisy but that was expected.

So much fun! Delicious salmon and the show was hilarious!

The food was great and we will be back again. We stayed at The Grand and it was very convenient to walk to restaurant.

Get the grilled avocado, the Wagyu short ribs and the Japanese milk bread!! You wont be disappointed. And ask for Marleina- she is so fun and a great waitress. Chef Whalen and crew have amazing dishes- you probably cant go wrong with anything on the menu. The entire staff is great and the ambiance is wonderful.

We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 25+ years, probably more than a dozen visits, and we have always walked away raving about the quality of the food and service. Tonight was no exception. Everything we had from Tommy’s Tomato Salad to the fresh fish selection to the veal Parmesan and beyond was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. A special treat is always having a conversation with the owner and executive chef, Terry Tarantino, who makes the rounds of the tables serving up his own version of Cacio d’Pepe. It would be a disappointment to miss him and his hat. Lucky for us, he was there to oversee the goings on, as usual. The Little Italy neighborhood location, too, is a delight. Take some time and walk around while you are there. Tip: opt for Little Italy valet parking or expect to walk some distance from whatever parking spot you can find nearby.
