New York’s best Italian restaurants, according to the experts

From classic red-sauce joints and tavernas to sleek Michelin-starred gems, check out our Experts' Choice picks for the best Italian restaurants in New York.

Italian cuisine is the backbone of the New York culinary world. While pizza is the city’s most ubiquitous (and delicious) handheld snack, the best way to indulge is with a proper sit-down feast. Whether you’re looking for Italian-American favorites like spaghetti and meatballs and chicken parm served in gargantuan portions or more authentic fare that’s served in the provinces of Italy like cacio e pepe, these restaurants never disappoint.
