Best affordable restos with ambiance in West Village

[EatingOutMA]

I'm moving to the West Village and am looking for go-to restos. Ideas anyone?

I always mention this place, because it is one of my favorites!
Piadina, simple delicious Italian in a charming basement setting. All the waiters are Italian, the food is always tasty and the price is just right.

the new french is a great little place. The food is simple but interesting (and really well priced). They have a daily red and white wine special that is always an amazing deal

westville will be your lifeline...burgers, salads, fish...vegetables...its all fresh and all good. delivery is solid and the place is usually packed...no reservations.

la bonbonniere is a greasy spoon on hudson that actually is a nice reprieve from the fancy places...great breakfast...

tavern on jane is in my opinion the best bar and grill in the west village...always solid...good for drinks...and their burger beats corner bistro.

elephant and castle on greenwich has great comfort food...their chicken schnitzel and chicken caesar salad rule.

good for brunch is packed and its decent.

tartine is cramped but cheap for bistro dinner.

da andrea has in my opinion the best italian for the money south of 14th street.

ino for the best panini in the city.

Agreed, Da Andrea is an excellent value and has a really nice atmosphere.

Malatesta also has a lot of character. The big bang for your buck is at Bar Pitti, though.

Gobo 401 Sixth Ave. really good vegitarian
Cafe Asean 117 W. 10th St. simple, good food, friendly, pretty cheap
Pearl Oyster Bar 18 Cornelia St. amazing lobster roll
Aki 181 W. Fourth St. small space but fresh, good, and reasonably priced
Waverly diner good diner food

I went to Extra virgin this summer and really liked it. The food was excellent and I liked the place also. They have a couple of tables outside for warm weather and it is on a quiet street so the walk there was nice also.

That sounds perfect. Thank you. I'll definitely use your suggestion!
