Last weekend we celebrated our son’s birthday at one of our favorite Italian restaurants in New York City: Piccolo Angolo. They are known for their home-style cooking , generous portions and friendly staff. Before we left, Renato Migliorini, the owner, gave us the new Zagat “America’s 1,000 Top Italian Restaurants (2008.) Of course they were in it. www.piccoloangolo.com. 621 Hudson Street (Jane St.) 212.229.9177.
We perused the book on the way home and were delighted that most of our favorite New Jersey Italian restaurants made it to Zagat’s Top 1000 list.
I thought I’d share them with you:
