Dante is an old-school Italian joint that’s been around since 1915 and has character and charm in spades. From the tiled floors and painted logo in the windows to the whitewashed brick walls adorned with photographs of the original owners, it’s a slice of authentic Italian Greenwich Village that has well and truly stood the test of time. Start off with one of the sourdough flatbreads; the version topped with soppressata, proscuitto, jamon, n’duja, mozzarella & pickled peppers is especially good. And for the main event, the handmade parpadelle with wild boar ragu, red wine, tomato, and parmigiano is stellar, probably the single best pasta dish we had in all of New York.
