Just stumbled across Luigi's on 5th ave recently. This is far above average NYC pizza made with quality ingredients and much attention to detail.
about the pizza:
thinner, very crispy crust with some small spots of char on the bottom (yum) . The pies are cooked directly on brick.
sauce was delicate, light, sweeter and fresher-tasting than most
toppings (onion, pepper, soppressata) were cooked perfectly, and the onion and pepper were finely diced which made an average portion go a long way in flavor and texture.
the slice was well balanced and cooked to perfection.
reasonably-priced. a cheese pie is 12 bucks!
Does anyone else have experiences with this spot?

Le Grand Dakar in Clinton Hill
Le Grand Dakar is a favorite of mine. Their food is delicious and has a home-cooked feeling. It's inspired, and it's great comfort food. West and North African cuisine. You can also hear local jazz and African musicians perform regularly there.

West Village / Greenwich village high food quality
Looking for a comfortable restaurant (maybe with outdoor seating..) in the WV or GV.. hudson / bleeker vicinity but flexible.
quality vegetables/ salads would be great. homemade pasta, seafood, too. definitely could be on the more adventurous side with menu.. just a great environment for a relaxed and slow dinner with friends and family.
Any recommendations would be great - thanks Chow!
