Il Cantinori, located in Greenwich Village, has been at the forefront of Tuscan cuisine in NYC since its opening in 1983. This old farmhouse with a rustic warmth, stucco walls, wooden beams and voluminous floral arrangements is very romantic and elegant. We combine the unique traditional flavors of the Tuscan countryside with a complete seasonal lunch and dinner menu. We welcome guests with affectionate hospitality, daily specials and a wine list reflective of the northern Italian regions.

    i always love il cantinori. beautiful ambience, perfect service and fabulous food. the homemade pappardella with sausage is outstanding. grilled artichoke salad and shrimp scampi were delicious. love the homemade tomato ragu with fresh bread, the salami and provolone hor doevres, and the cookie plate were wonderful complimentary additions to the meal.

    Best calamari I’ve ever had. A bit more expensive than most places, but well worth it for the quality
