Best Restaraunt in Manhattan

by Jeff Wright

My wife and I stumbled on this place when she was subletting an apartment nearby, and for the three years that we lived in NYC we visited often and never once left disappointed. The food is wonderful and for someone looking for Italian food that deviates from the normal lasagna plate, it offers unique dishes that are wonderful. The waitresses/owner of this place all speak with slight accents, and the owner is a small woman that walks around and monitors. The location places it near Time Square, but it's far enough away to avoid the noise and congestion that comes with that area. Also, the dining arrangements allow you to sit indoor or outdoor.

• Pros: Excellent/unique food, authentic waitresses, dining area
• Cons: I truly see none

This is one of the nicest restaurants in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is top notch, the food is great, the service is good, and the prices are reasonable. What more could you ask for?

great food... reasonable prices... service is sometimes a little spotty....

by eatamar

have been to 44sw probably about 10 times over the past year... the food never disappoints... the portions are VERY large so plan accordingly and probably the best food for your dollar in the theatre district.

simple dishes made extremely well... sometimes service can be a little underwhelming.... but for the value, it's worth the risk...

• Pros: great food, great value
• Cons: average service

Theater District Italian restaurant offers sidewalk dining, candlelit dinners, weekend brunch, specialty martinis and more.

American-Italian on a prime corner near Theater Row.

In Short
Deep red walls and furnishings give this two-room restaurant a slightly formal air, while its corner location and big windows allow for lots of light and a view of the theater district bustle. The dining rooms are populated by a middle-aged crowd of playgoers and locals. The menu features pastas, pizzas, a grilled salmon filet, and chicken breasts served half a dozen ways.
