Don Angie has quickly become one of the West Village’s most coveted reservations, and for good reason. This modern Italian-American spot on Greenwich Avenue strikes that perfect balance between innovative and comforting that makes you want to return again and again. The intimate, retro-chic dining room with its curved banquettes and warm lighting sets the stage for what’s to come: food that’s familiar yet completely surprising.

The menu’s crown jewel is undoubtedly their signature lasagna for two—a masterpiece rolled into pinwheels that’s as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious, with layers of sweet Italian sausage, 24-month aged Parmigiano, and grilled onions. But don’t stop there. Their chrysanthemum salad with pears and pecorino is a textural revelation, while the garlic flatbread with warm honey butter might ruin all other bread services for you forever.

What makes Don Angie special isn’t just the creative spin on Italian-American classics—it’s how genuinely warm the experience feels. The staff navigates the packed dining room with grace, making recommendations that never disappoint. While securing a table requires planning weeks in advance, the bar seats are first-come, first-served and offer the full menu.

For a meal that feels both special occasion-worthy and somehow like home, Don Angie delivers every time.
