Back Up Next

I think there are more Italian restaurants in NYC that Italy. Many of them are pretty darn good.  Selecting a Top 5 is a daunting task, but one that I have accepted joyously.  My research is not complete...it is nowhere near complete.   I will continue to research and research.  Try new places and reaffirm the old...what a life.

Anyway, after 7 years of research, I would like to publish my inaugural list.  Let the controversy begin.  (If I missed a place, let me know.   Better yet, take me there.)

  1. Babbo

  2. Marea

  3. Il Giglio (not for the atmosphere)

  4. Rao's

  5. L'Artusi

Lupa just dropped off as I added Marea. Mario Batali had two in the Top 5.  He deserves it for he is clearly Iron Chef Italian.  But Marea is knocking on Babbo's door!
