Villa Mosconi Restaurant • 1976

The Mosconi family brought their Emilia-Romagna recipes to MacDougal Street in 1976, turning this Greenwich Village trattoria into a sanctuary of homemade pasta and old-school hospitality. Chef Pietro still hand-rolls gnocchi and veal-spinach ravioli in the kitchen, while regulars linger over osso buco in the garden room, unbothered by the changing neighborhood outside. Step inside for wine poured from painted ceramic carafes and the kind of warmth that turns first-timers into decades-long regulars.
