Tra Di Noi

We’ve never seen wait staff who are as effusive about their daily specials as the people at Tra Di Noi. They could just be good at their jobs, but the table next to you will also chime in to confirm that yes, the swordfish is to die for. Get the swordfish—or any other seafood special, really—and a pasta per person to share. Tra Di Noi is everything you want out of your Little Italy red sauce experience. It’s got old-school Italian-American, checkerboard-tablecloth charm, and the staff are warm and welcoming from the moment you walk in to your enthusiastic exit interview at the end. There are only around 10 tables here, so make a reservation.
