If you're looking for an Italian style restaurant in NYC a great little place is Fedilia's in Manhatten around 58th and 2nd ave (check online for the exact address). It's not your typical Italian food, so if you don't like unusual dishes it might not be the place for you, but if you're willing to try different things, it's the place for you. Being from NJ it seemed a little pricey but compared to other NYC locations probably not too bad (Dinner for 2 with only 1 alcoholic drink about $130-$150). The staff was great and the food tasty if a little different than the "normal" italian menus you see.
