A West Village classic that never goes out of style, Via Carota offers comforting, rave-worthy Italian fare in a rustic-chic setting with whitewashed brick and communal farm tables š·šŖµ. It's wildly popularāplan ahead, the reservations fill quickly. Start with sausage-stuffed fried olives, donāt miss the creamy risotto cacio e pepe, and always say yes to dessert (that flourless chocolate cake? A dream š«). Italian simplicity done just right.
