Italian restaurant near West Village
So my boyfriend's and my 1 year anniversary is coming up shortly, and our favorite restaurant just closed (Nero D'avola)! We need a new special "us" place, and quick!
Some specifications:
- In, around, or near the West Village (I don't mind going uptown a bit or across on the L, but going to the upper east side is a pain)
- ITALIAN
- His favorite thing in the world is mozzarella caprese. Extra points if it's bufala mozzarella. It really doesn't even need tomatoes. You can just plop a chunk of the mozzarella on the plate and he'd be happy.
- MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE VEGETARIAN OPTION (for me)
- Homemade pasta is a plus (though not required)
- Not outrageously expensive. It's our anniversary, but we're in our mid-20s and we're not loaded.
I know it's a huge list of requirements, but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
If they still made Screaming Yellow Zonkers, I'd inhale it every day (and then need to be rolled out of my apt).
Kraft mac n cheese
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Oreos (but even better if you stick a freshly roasted marshmallow in between!)
