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.

    As always, the food is outstanding at this popular Greenwich restaurant. At lunch, one is able to order a half portion of any of the appetizers; salads; or pastas. The place is very attractive and the service is top notch. One of our favorite local Italian restaurants.

    Highly overrated. Vastly overpriced for the quality of food, service and very cramped layout - constantly being bumped into. The rack of lamb was good. My partner had shrimp which were bland. I couldn’t understand the waiters accent when describing the specials. Never again.
