After a hundred years in Little Italy, Grotta Azzurra is holding down its history as host to Enrico Caruso and Frank Sinatra; that same hospitality extends to the travelers and locals who pack the recently renovated restaurant. A prix-fixe lunch menu is still under $10, and homemade pasta specialties are fine starters to entrées like veal milanese and osso buco. The brick-lined wine cellar room is particularly lovely and great for large private parties.
