Da Capo Aperitivo e Caffè
7.8
Italian-style cafe and wine bar near 97th and Madison where families can share panini, pizzette, and pastries by day, and adults linger over aperitivo and glasses of wine at night. The room leans cozy and European, giving neighborhood families a lower-key Italian option a few blocks from Central Park.

Prosciutto and mozzarella panini, Pizzette with Italian toppings, Cornetto and cappuccino
