On the corner of West 14th and 9th Ave you'll find this lovely little Italian cafe/restaurant. With exposed brick walls and characterful wooden furniture, the vibe is chilled, but classy.
No doubt the scent of homemade pizzas will lure you in, but once there be sure to take advantage of the creative farm-to-table salads, like the California Kale with mango, quinoa and goat's cheese. Or try the Meatpacking Burger if you think you can handle it – not only does it come laden with bacon, a fried egg and Bermuda onion jam, but it's also accompanied by string fries and Peroni-deep-fried buttermilk onions.
Plus, there are to-go options, including the creamiest gelato from the counter, sandwiches and wraps. Not forgetting the classic Italian coffee, made with a Lavazza Cimbali M100, which probably doesn't mean much to you, but will mean a helluva lot to your tastebuds.
