Good Neighborhood find for family of 4

[devine5829]

I am a foodie; in the restaurant biz. Im coming to NY with my mother & two teen daughters in May. Im looking for a good restaurant that wont break the bank but has good food with a neighborhood feel. Yes, Italian suggestions are good because all kids love Italian. I could go crazy for the fancier places but the kids and my mom would not like that.

Help please....

Not sure exactly what "neighborhood feel" is but I would stick to downtown (below 14th St.) there are lots of neighborhoods there, Village, Soho, Little Italy, Tribeca.So walking around before or after would be good. Villa Mosconi is neighborhood old school and been there a long time in the Village, D'Andrea on 13th St is very good and won't break the bank,Rubirosa my kids like a lot, its in a neighborhood setting, has pizza and food and gluten free and a younger crowd than the first two, I would try not to eat in Little Italy , but if you do I guess the famous ones like Angelo's, or Luna or SPQR on Mulberry st. and go to ferrara's for dessert. In tribeca you have many reasonable places Cinque, Gigino, Ponte's, Roc, Accapella, Ecco, all would fit the bill, for more upscale in Tribeca would be Laconda Verde, Ristorante Aglio,,,, or just go to Lombardi's for pizza in Soho. Regardless of the negative reviews of Lombardi's ( and I have written one) it is still better than any pizza outside of NYC, so enjoy new york , and dont forget to get a sandwich at Katz's Deli it''s 100 years old and good
