Il Cantinori, located in Greenwich Village, has been at the forefront of Tuscan cuisine in NYC since its opening in 1983. This old farmhouse with a rustic warmth, stucco walls, wooden beams and voluminous floral arrangements is very romantic and elegant. We combine the unique traditional flavors of the Tuscan countryside with a complete seasonal lunch and dinner menu. We welcome guests with affectionate hospitality, daily specials and a wine list reflective of the northern Italian regions.

    This restaurant clearly caters to locals which we are not. We were seated right away, even though we arrived 10 minutes early. Our waiter was friendly and took our drink order promptly. However, within 10 minutes, the place got busy, and we didn’t see him again. We couldn’t get another drink, and our food took about 10 minutes to prepare. My wife had the three-pasta dish, but unfortunately, she found the pasta dishes to be bland. I ordered the gnocchi special and the Strozzapreti al Pomodoro, which were both delicious. It was apparent that our waiter knew most of the patrons and focused his attention on them, leaving us largely ignored. It would have been nice if he had checked in with us at least once. Given that our bill was over $200, we expected a higher level of service. There are certainly better dining options in NYC.

    Everything was fantastic - from a fussy eater who customizes everything this was perfect! I got to taste a little if everything I wanted, which was all delicious!
