If you ever need a place to pretend your staring in a romantic comedy-this is it. With classic red and white checkered table cloths and a cozy view of the city sky line, Machiavelli makes it virtually impossible to keep from falling prey to the romantic vibe of this whole in the wall.

Machiavelli is vintage, not over the top. It is simple and straight to the point. And that point is amazing food served with a side of NYC charm. I fall in love every time I show up.

Fridays and Saturdays prove popular so show up early or prepare for a few rounds of drinks at the bar while you wait. Trust me, it is so worth it.
