Need Italian Restaurant Recommendation

My husband is running the NYC half marathon this weekend, and we will be staying in the city with our 2 teenagers. We need a recommendation for a casual Italian restaurant for Saturday night where my husband can get some really good pasta, but nothing too formal or heavy. We are staying in the East 50s, so preferably something in that area.

Thanks!

      Il Vagabondo, on 62nd between 1st - 2nd. Perfect for your purposes.

        Thanks, that looks great. But can you suggest anything else that has a bigger fish selection?
