Its getting nice out!!! And Olio is among the best outdoor seating/people watching in the West Village. This brick oven pizza spot gets packed for brunch, especially on nice sunny days. I always get the same thing; The Nostrano pizza, which has ricotta cheese, prosciutto and truffle oil. I usually sprinkle a little olive oil and vinegar on top, which is a nice treat. their crust is also top-notch. Also, this spot is open 24 hours!!

Like Jon’s pizza on Bleecker, Olio doesn’t do slices; only full pizzas perfect for sharing or hoarding for yourself.

I also love the Amalfitana pizza with salad on top. It’s pretty cool that they have this dish because most places don’t. I also like the use of the lemon. I’ve never had their pasta, but I’ve heard really good things. But for me, I’m a creature of habit, and will always get my Prosciutto and Ricotta pizza.

All in all, a great place for drinks, people watching, and some tasty brick oven pizza.

I have to admit, this is among the top 2 burger joints in the West Village. I’ve been here 3 times already and it’s always a treat. It does get packed, but the tables seem to turn over quick. For instance, tonight’s “25 minute wait” was less than 5, but you never know.

I always get the Original burger which comes with shiitake mushroom, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, parmesan crisp, and UMAMI ketchup. Never fails.

This clean burger comes on your plate neat and tidy. It’s not huge, so you wont be over stuffed. Their buns are hands down the best I’ve had. Light and fluffy, with a “U” stamped on top.

IMG_2231They also have their own 4 unique dipping sauces; ketchup, aioli, ranch, and their super spicy jalapeño.

This place is a must try!  You will be happy.

Classy, refined, and farm fresh is how I would define this tasteful West Village Restaurant.

This American Tavern has a nice buzz to the air, catering to a bit of an older, sophisticated crowd. The open doors and windows adds to the pleasant ambiance.

Oh, and the food rocked. This was a special salmon salad with Asparagus, Ricotta cheese and a light lemon dressing…delectable.

The pappardelle with soft shell crab was cooked perfectly. Very well made; unique dish.

Are you kidding me with that graham cracker flavor? That pomegranate raspberry sorbet? A candy lover like myself can really go crazy here, with a slew of toppings, fixing, and trimmings.  I went for the captain crunch, m&m, rainbow sprinkles, rainbow cookie, shredded almonds, whipped cream, to name a few.

We were invited to check out their new location on Bleecker St… and was super pumped we did. Sujan the manager and the whole team made sure we got the full flavorful experience. Love the numerous flavors, toppings, and dance music on blast.

Tip: Get tons of free samples!!!!

I love you 16 Handles…

We created this site because ever since I moved to the West Village, I wished a site like this existed—somewhere we could easily find good local places to eat, whether it’s for a few beers with friends, a romantic spot to bring a date, some tasty pasta or cheap Chinese, whatever.
