Good Italian

[nrp]

Any suggestion for nice/upscale Italian. A nice night out.....

I love Beppe, too, also Alto (the glass walls are the wine cellar and the food is delicate)

Absolutely L'Impero. Michael White is the new chef, and the food is stellar as usual. They have a fantastic wine list with really interesting wines by the glass. I also recommend Insieme also with an out of this world wine list, Fiamma, and A Voce.

Sfoglia , L'Impero (new chef is a winner in my book).

And I wouldn't travel for it but if on UES I have been having some nice meals alfresco at Per Lei. Good fresh pastas and very friendly staff. A good all around Summer spot.

A voce is really terrific and I didn't feel rushed at all. I got wines by the glass and they had a nice selection of Italian wines -- at fairly reasonable prices.

My husband is into wine, so a great wine list is key. This will be a special night for us, so we would like a nice restaurant, not to be rushed.

There are so many good choices. What kind of food are you looking for -- italian-american, tuscan, roman, pizza/pasta, sicilian?

Some suggestions: Beppe (great tuscan), otto (pizza/pasta, cheese, good wine by the glass), apizz
