Handmade pasta and brick oven pizza in a warm Little Italy room with a romantic, family run feel.
🍝 Three Generations at the Table
Da Nico Ristorante has been cooking in Little Italy from 1993 onward, leaning on recipes handed down through three generations. Handmade pasta and brick oven pizza anchor the menu, and the pies arrive blistered at the edge and loaded with sausage, peppers, and onions. Bruschetta, veal piccata, and tiramisu round out the classics, with grilled lamb chops for a heavier plate.
The room runs warm and romantic, and the wine selection draws its own praise. Staff have a reputation for going out of their way on anniversaries and milestones, which makes Da Nico a steady pick for a date or a birthday dinner with a little ceremony. Locals and visitors alike call the cooking authentic and far from touristy.
The dining room at 164 Mulberry St opens at noon daily and serves until 10 PM, stretching to 11 PM on Friday and Saturday for a later seating. Across 4,431 reviews the average sits at 4.3, a big crowd that keeps praising the handmade pasta, the romance of the room, and the warm, family run service.
