Notable Picks
#1
La Terra
8.2
Opened in 2025, La Terra brings longtime neighborhood restaurateur Luigi Scarpelli’s refined Southern Italian cooking to First Avenue, with house-made pastas and a cozy brick-backed bar. Their Lasagne di Carne is rich but balanced, sitting alongside Pugliese-leaning dishes and a crowd of locals treating this as a new regular spot.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lasagne di Carne, Pappardelle with wild boar ragù, Chicken Parmigiana
What makes it special: New-school neighborhood Italian from a veteran restaurateur, with serious pastas and BYOB roots.
#2
Noreetuh
8.2
A Hawaiian-leaning New American spot where the cooking stays fun and layered without turning into a gimmick. The best experience is a mixed table: one craveable shared plate, one richer entrée, and one bright, acidic counterweight.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spam musubi, Garlic shrimp, Seasonal crudo-style starter
What makes it special: Hawaiian-influenced New American that balances comfort and finesse.
#3
AOC East
8.1
A French wine bar + bistro that shines when you treat it like a grazing-and-glass spot: oysters, tartare, and a well-matched pour. Keep the order tight and it feels intimate and intentional, not like small plates chasing a full dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
East Coast oysters, Sirloin steak tartare (tableside), Dry-aged NY shell steak with frites
What makes it special: Wine-bar energy with oysters and bistro classics done cleanly.
