Lupa Osteria Romana

If you are ever in NYC, check out Lupa in Greenwich Village on Thompson street. 
Lupa is one of Mario Batali's restaurants, one tier above Otto and one tier below Babbo.Mr. Batali openened Lupa in 1999 with Joseph Bastianich, Mark Ladner and Jason Denton.

Just make sure you book a table, they fill up quickly. You can drop by, they have a few tables available for walk-ins, but reservations are recommended.  

The food, mainly Roman, is superb, wine list wonderful and staff exceptional. You can look at their Wine List.

I have been going to Lupa for years, and will keep going. My usual dinner consists of assorted meats for an antipasti, Bucatini al'amatriciana as a main course, and cheese for dessert. I usually also go for the Ettore Germano Herzu, one of my favorites. 

Check out their website here.  

 Cheers!
