Il Cantinori, located in Greenwich Village, has been at the forefront of Tuscan cuisine in NYC since its opening in 1983. This old farmhouse with a rustic warmth, stucco walls, wooden beams and voluminous floral arrangements is very romantic and elegant. We combine the unique traditional flavors of the Tuscan countryside with a complete seasonal lunch and dinner menu. We welcome guests with affectionate hospitality, daily specials and a wine list reflective of the northern Italian regions.

    Schönes Ambiente, toller Service. Die Hauptspeisen sind schmackhaft, aber für das Gebotene zu teuer. 55 USD für Nudeln mit etwas Pesto sind auch für NYC heftig. Wein- und Dessertpreise sind angemessen.

    Loved it again - we visit each time we’re in the City. This was an anniversary, and the food was even more amazing than ever. Lovely salads, scallopini, three pastas on one plate, Chianti and Champagne. Dessert took the entire experience over the top - tartuffo !! Would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys REAL Italian food.

    As always, the food is outstanding at this popular Greenwich restaurant. At lunch, one is able to order a half portion of any of the appetizers; salads; or pastas. The place is very attractive and the service is top notch. One of our favorite local Italian restaurants.
