A lot of the restaurants have gone downhill in Little Italy, but Il Cortile is really good.
yeah, I gathered that...
Il Cortile? Do they have really good everything?
They do. But what we always do is have dinner somewhere then dessert/cappucinos at La Bella Ferrara. It's a bakery/cafe. They have great pasteries...especially their tartufo. It's to DIE for. (it's a chocolate shell over vanilla icecream with cherries & nuts in the center)
I value your opinion on Italian foods. So, just to get it all straight.
Dinner = Il Cortile
Desert = La Bella Ferrara
Right on. I haven't been there in about a year...so i hope it meets up to your standards!!
*Dessert, not desert.
Here's Il Cortile's website. http://www.ilcortile.com/?littleitalynyc
Are you taking your GF there?
Yes. Her fondest memory of NYC was a cannoli from little Italy, lol. For sentimental value, I want to take her there with me.
aw, cute! you'll really enjoy it. I wish Little Italy was more than just Mulberry St. China town has pretty much taken over. :(
:) she'll love it, I'm sure! Thank you so much!
If I'm thinking of the right place, definitely eat your dessert outside in the back of La Bella Ferrara. It's super cute.
