Locanda Verde opened in 2009, but if this place isn’t significant to you—if you didn't eat lamb meatball sliders next to Bradley Cooper back when it was one of the toughest tables in town—here's what you'll find today: A pleasant Italian restaurant with crowd-pleasing food and impeccable service, where you can always get a reservation for nearly every kind of occasion. Tribeca’s Locanda (there’s a newer one in Hudson Yards) has mellowed with time. These days, the main draw is just how adaptable their sprawling dining room is. The bar is great for a post-work flirtation, or a solo glass of red wine with AirPods in. The two tops are a nice resting spot to eat silky smooth ricotta crostini after a long day of shopping in Soho. Under paintings by backer Robert De Niro’s father, big round tables accommodate both groups of coworkers and families. A lavish women's bathroom accommodates both a mid-dinner red lipstick touch-up and a diaper change. Other than the occasional film star or former royal, the regulars at Locanda Verde are no longer instantly recognizable. But a simple plate of ravioli—a recipe from chef Andrew Carmellini’s grandmother’s—still satisfies. Even better is the confidence that comes with easily securing a table at a place that will easily please everyone in your party. (Even celebrity-spotting hopefuls who didn't see a famous person.)
