- AAnthonyNew York City •26 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 21, 2025This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. Chef is there every night. The food is superb and so is the service. I prefer to sit in the open courtyard in back. I feel like I'm in a movie set. Everything about the restaurant speaks of care and attention. A dish as familiar as chicken parmigiana is prepared so deliciously and tastes so fresh, that I wish my stomach was bigger so I could eat two. Also, I submit that the garlic bread is the best in the city.More infoTaverna Di BaccoPrice: Expensive• Italian• Lower East Side•4.8
