We like Rossini's on E 38th. It's an old style Italian red sauce place. Great food and one night a week they have opera singers.

We're big fans of I Trulli on East 27th Street (East of Park Ave South). Excellent food and lovely setting.

While I like Babbo better for the food alone ... more rusticity and provides more regional variety than its peers; the service at Marea is much better. Food at Marea is no slouch either.

If this matters to you, Babbo's robust wine list, imho, also extends to a wider range of budget and regions (Italy).

This Saturday, as in a few days from now?

How much are you looking to spend just on food? It's easier to help if you give a per person food cost (like $50pp).

[dlgc]

Up to 100.00 per person.
