Pepolino:
Step into this cozy Italian eatery to enjoy all the authenticity of a traditional Tuscan meal without losing sight of bustling Tribeca. The wait staff is made up entirely of Italian expats, and they’ve brought the motherland’s core values with them: excellent eats and homestyle hospitality at a painfully glacial pace. The food is worth it, though, especially the house-made gourmet pastas ($18-$22). Wash down your carbo-load with a glass of vino Italiano and you’ll be letting go of the day in no time. The soft lighting perfectly sets the scene for a footsie rendezvous with Boo, and family dinners will also feel at home in the unpretentious dining room or upstairs bar area. In warmer months, sidewalk seating is tops (obvi) and a heated outdoor tent makes dining al fresco a fine choice even in winter’s nastiest months. So when it’s mid-January and you’re craving that Mediterranean vaca, save your wallet the stress and head to Pepolino for an evening away instead.
