pre/post theater dinner in Hell's Kitchen/Theater District

Okay guys here are my options!

I culled this list from a random selection of Italian restaurants in Hell's Kitchen/Theater District.
I wanted to stay on 8th or 9th Ave, between 45th & 55th St.
I'm just your average restaurant patron - I want food, not art - however I don't need large, oversized portions, as I will be going to another event right after.

Please help me choose from cascina, il melograno or stecchino.

    My preference in that neighborhood would be Chez Napoleon 365 W. 50th (between 8th and 9th)

      Chez Napoleon is a good French bistro. However, the o.p. has made it clear that s/he's looking for an Italian restaurant and has actually picked one. See this thread: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/817045

      Haven't been to Cascina and Il Melograno. Stecchino was pretty good, though my meal was quite a while ago.

      What about Trattoria Trecolori? Really well-priced Italian restaurant, solid food that 's easy on your wallet.

        I plan on going to Stecchino post-theater for dessert/drinks.
        Ruled out Cascina for dinner & called Il Melograno but they dont know if they'll be open! *facepalm*
        I didn't feel the ambiance of Trattoria Trecolori was what I was looking for.
