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.

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.
