Italian in New York

4 places for Italian in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

• Luigi's Pizza — National Geographic
  Praised the Sicilian slice as fluffy rather than chewy with a crispy bottom and a perfect ratio of tomato sauce to cheese, and said the thin New York slice was equally 'overwhelming' — 'both are amazing.'
• Lil' Frankie's — Munchies
  The spaghetti limone is 'ridiculously' good and the burrata is so good it practically melts, praised as something special about New York that this quality is available even late at night.
  Heads up: Open until 2am on weekdays and 4am on weekends, so check closing times.
• Emilio's Ballato — TOPJAW
  Praised the meatballs, slow-cooked for seven hours, as the juiciest they've ever had, with the tagliatelle Bolognese as the signature dish.
• Bleecker Street Pizza — Jon Barr
  Recommended over Joe's for a slice in Greenwich Village.
