Okay, I need help! Where should I go in little Italy? Which restaurants are the best? Which ones have great cannolis?

tesoro Jul 5, 2007

A lot of the restaurants have gone downhill in Little Italy, but Il Cortile is really good.

flomojopoanode Jul 5, 2007

yeah, I gathered that... Il Cortile? Do they have really good everything?

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

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?

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

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.
