Nolita restaurants

I just moved to the Nolita area and have been trying to get around to some of the great restaurants in the neighborhood. I love Balaboosta, Parm and Torrisi's (of course!) but would love some other suggestions for brunch/dinner from those of you who have eaten your way through the neighborhood.

I'll take NoHo and SoHo suggestions too. Moved from the UES, so it's a new world for me down here!

Thanks!

    to pile on to this otherwise complete list, I'm a big fan of L'asso for pizza. People don't normally mention it but its almost always busy and good. They just expanded to the EV.

      Thanks for the responses!! I've been to a number of these places, but you definitely gave me quite a few more to try!!

      By the way...I'm not a pizza expert, but Forcella had one of the best pizza I've ever had in my life! I'm a believer in the montanara!!

          Tacombi has great tacos, and Cafe Habana has the best grilled corn.
