Best days for Best Italian Food in New York City - Upper Westside

Map My Location
Cesca
164 W 75th St New York City, NY
(212) 787-6300
Higher-end Italian with non-gargantuan proportions of well-prepared food. Bar area in front is cozy and more casual, with full menu available (also a fairnly discrete flat panel TV - not my favorite, but this will be a draw for some), with main dining room for a more formal dining experience.
Carmine's Restaurant
2450 Broadway New York City, NY 10024
(212) 362-2200
Lively, family-style Italian which has been a UWS staple for years. Come hungry. Great for larger groups in particular.
Sambuca
20 W 72nd St., New York, NY 10023 New York City-Upper Westside, NY 3
(212) 787-5656
Less well-known than Carmine's, but a very fine pick for Italian.
Nick & Toni's Cafe
100 W 67th St. New York City, NY 10023
(212) 496-4000
Another UWS favorite. Open Mon-Thu 12pm-3:30pm, 5:30pm-10:30pm; Fri-Sat 12pm-3:30pm, 5:30pm-11pm
Gennaro
665 Amsterdam Ave New York City, NY 10024
(212) 665-5348
Rather unassuming on the outside, but the food is excellent.
Isabella's
359 Columbus Ave New York City, NY 10023
(212) 724-2100
Not quite as hard-core Italian as some of the others on the list, but this light, airy space and general vibe, as well as good food, makes this a perennial favorite on the UWS.
