- Rubirosa Ristorante. Rubirosa is an Italian American restaurant and pizzeria in Nolita, otherwise known as North of Little Italy. The eatery was established by the son of one of the founders of Staten Island classic Joe & Pat's, and its menu pays homage to its predecessor.
- Epistrophy. Restaurants featuring cuisine from the Italian island of Sardinia are less common in NYC than other regions. The loss is ours because a simple, lean diet with occasional meat dishes from locally raised animals is said to contribute to the longevity of its people; writer Dan Buettner told NBC News that women and men on the Mediterranean island make it 100 in equal numbers.
- Bamonte's Restaurant. Open since 1900, Bamonte's is found in a two-story red-clapboard home and still has all the old-school Italian American charm. This New York institution might claim the title of oldest "red sauce" restaurants in the city, which is another way of saying you'll find plenty of classic pasta dishes with marinara or vodka sauce brought over from Southern Italy and popularized by places like this.
- Carbone. The Village in NYC is known for its counterculture history, brownstones, and excellent selection of restaurants. This Greenwich Village restaurant has yet to reach a decade of operation, but Carbone is considered an essential, high-end Italian American restaurant that pays homage to its predecessors in the city — if you can get a table.
