Another vote for Carmines.   Tony DiNapoli's  also is excellent and located near Times Square.  

 


@ciao_bella  Friends of ours made reservations at Tony DiNapoli's last month since we were going to the theatre.  I had never been there and it was a blast.  Great energy,  the place was jumping,  and the food was very good. It was served Family Style.  It's a more informal Southern Italian restaurant. Fun.

I love the Bryant Park Grill.  Italian -- I would suggest Arte Cafe on West 73rd off of Columbus.  A "neighborhood" place and not touristy.
