Dinner near Manhattan School of Music (122nd and B'way)

I know there are threads with info, but I just can't seem to make friends with the search engine here. We need a nice little dinner before a 7:30 performance on a weeknight.

I very much like Pisticci (on LaSalle, just west of Bway). It's a great little neighborhood Italian spot. The polenta appetizer is esp. good. ( http://www.pisticcinyc.com/ ) Have fun at the performance.

Excellent idea, thank you - I'll call for a reservation. We're going to PENELOPE, an opera I've never heard of. Should be interesting.
