Sabatino's
The grandmother of Little Italy's family-friendly restaurants will disappoint finicky diners looking for cutting-edge cuisine, but it overwhelmingly pleases almost everyone else. Menu highlights include the homemade pastas, veal Francese, and the mammoth bookmaker's salad, dressed with Sabatino's gritty house dressing. The waitresses work their black-apron magic, serving up huge portions in white rooms that look as fresh as they did when Sab's opened 50 years ago. And it's open until 3 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights.
