This popular trattoria near Carnegie Hall is known for the oversize renderings of body parts (like the giant nose in the front window) displayed alongside portraits of Italian artists in its three dining rooms. The food commands attention, too, from the mouthwatering antipasti on the bar to the tasty pasta, pizza, hot focaccia sandwiches, and gargantuan grilled double veal chop served with shoestring potatoes. Check out the wonderful cannoli, great wine list, and flavored grappas. Reservations essential. Subway: F, N, R, Q, W to 57th St.
