Not many restaurants in N.Y. live to be over 80, but this Italian institution in the heart of the Theater District has been going strong since 1927. It’s the perfect spot for a pre- or post-Broadway meal, featuring reliable fare like cannelloni au gratin, steak tartare and crabcakes; expertly prepared classic cocktails; dozens of autographed caricatures of celebrities lining the walls; and the palpable buzz of a place that’s seen its share of Big Apple history.
