You have to be looking for Tosca to find it, tucked back among the tobacco warehouses which have been converted to the loft apartments of West Village. The rustically romantic dining room, with vintage opera posters between high arched windows in rough brick walls, is worth the search. So is the food, a refreshingly simple take on the Italian repertoire. The antipasto for two, a lavish assortment of imported cold cuts, locally made fresh mozzarella and grilled vegetables, is a winning starter. Follow that with authentic spaghetti carbonara, bistecca alla fiorentina or pollo alla Tosca. Desserts are imported from Italy, and sometimes suffer from jet lag. (Full review)
