Thanks for all the info! I still have a while before I need to make a final decision, but all of these sound good.

Hi, I'm trying to choose a restaurant for a family dinner with around 16 people, $50 per person and Italian cuisine. I'd prefer something in or around the village, but it doesn't have to be. I did a little research for similar topics here and my top picks so far would be Crispo, Villa Mosconi, Mangia e Bevi, and Campanile. I've never been to any of these places and wanted to see if people had any other suggestions. Also, maybe something with a private room would be nice....

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Can anyone suggest a great place in the West Village for a classic club sandwich?? I feel like I can never find a good sit-down sandwich place here, thanks for any advice!

Curious to know if anyone has tried out Maurizio Trattoria in the West Village...Good or bad reviews? Thanks!

I need to order a red velvet cake for my brother's birthday and I'm wondering where the best place to do that in the West Village would be. There's always Magnolia, but I also heard Amy's Bread is good. Thanks for any suggestions!

I need some help deciding where to go for my birthday dinner! I've read tons of posts on the best steakhouses and I think I've decided that Strip House is my top choice (I'm a sucker for chocolate cake!), but I was curious if there's a non-steakhouse restaurant that might be a good choice. The only thing Strip House doesn't match for me is the sides- I love mashed potatoes and they don't have 'em. I'd really appreciate any suggestions you have!
