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.

    We had a great time again here. I had the Pappardelle Alla Buttera, and my son had the Gnocci Castagne. Both were excellent. Gabriel, our server, and the rest of the service team were very attentive despite being extremely busy. Besides the tables being very close together, the atmosphere was lively and fun.

    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.
