Ask anyone in the West Village what they love about their neighbourhood and chances are this little corner place will be on the list. It’s a lesson in how to nail a local city restaurant, and chef Mr Joey Campanaro keeps getting it right year after year. That’s thanks to the unwavering but unpretentious insistence on seasonal ingredients, the spot-on service and the immediately relaxed vibe. Everyone will tell you to order the gravy meatball sliders, and you definitely should, but don’t miss the aubergine parmigiana, pork chop and butter beans or cinnamon beignets.
