Provence is right on Minetta--it might get overlooked because it's been around forever, but it's pretty--has a wood burning oven for little pizzas and lots of small dishes ideal for pre theater nosh--

also they are kind and friendly there --I once brought my sister for dinner --she only drank wine coolers at the time--I was inwardly cringing when she ordered one because I was afraid the server would snoot her and i'd get into a fight, but no, like a darling he said they didn't have them but got the bartender to whip up a facsimile--somewhere between a spritzer and a shirley temple.

So ever since, i pimp for Provence whenever i get a chance.

Provence isn't on Minetta. It's on MacDougal.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Bellavitae -- which has the substantial advantage of being right next door to the theater?

I'm definitely thinking of Provence, just got foggy about location i guess--how's Bellavitae?

I agree, but they do get some great EVOO at times.

I've always really enjoyed Bellavitae on my many visits, especially the starters and pastas. And it's not terribly expensive. Their olive oil does rock, and its for sale.
