Reasonable Italian in Tribeca

[DJIllies]

With all the promotions around town, we wondered if you could recommend a good but reasonable Italian place in Tribeca. Thanks!

I also tried Gigino this summer and liked it a lot. They also make frozen drinks...I had a pina colada and it was very good! It is laid back...wonderful food...nice setting...

I've been living and working in Tribeca for over 25 years, which qualifies me... well, who knows if I'm right, but I think by far the best quality:price place in Tribeca is Gigino, on Greenwich St (they also have a second, fantastic location in Battery Park, with great harbor / Statue of Liberty views,).
Gigino offers fresh, well prepared food, a large menu with lots of daily specials, pretty good brick oven pizza, and a decent enough wine list (you can also byob for a $15 corkage). A house special called spaghetti al Padrino is our perennial favorite - and a dish we've never seen anywhere else - spaghetti with beets, escarole, anchovy, parsley - really very very good. It's a fairly large place by NY standards and lively without getting deafening; the service is almost always very good.
BTW: we avoid Roc, neighbor to Gigino; unless you care to over-pay for lesser quality served with plenty of attitude.

Gigino is a good choice.I also like Pepolino very much.A bit more expensive than Gigino but the food and service are very good and the prices reasonable for the quality.It's on West Broadway,1/2 block below Canal.
