Il Cantinori has an entire menu of Tuscan food, but the best way to eat here is to order the off-menu specials—like a saucy chicken parm, and a pasta sampler that’s perfect for anyone who often experiences instant order-related regret. The Greenwich Village Italian restaurant—which did in fact make a cameo on Sex and the City—has white tablecloths fit for a family dinner, but enough espresso martini-drinking to also draw a crowd who still caffeinates after 6pm. Keep it in mind for any sort of occasion that warrants spending a lot of money on pasta by candlelight, and channeling your inner Carrie Bradshaw. We’ve found that lovers of Il Cantinori come here on every special occasion—probably because when you eat here enough, the owner (Frank) will learn your name.
