      Enjoy traditional Northern and Southern Italian cuisine at Da Nico. The beautiful indoor dining room is a favorite among movie stars, New York Yankees and former Mayor Giuliani. The casual, family-friendly atmosphere welcomes you to dine on “The Best Coal Brick Oven Pizza,” or one of the delicious items on the menu.
      Specialties include lobster fra diavolo, baby lamb chops and veal chops. Call for the day’s specials.
      During the summer, Da Nico features a large outdoor garden which doubles its normal seating capacity. Da Nico is also available for your private parties.
      There are many keys to having a great dining experience. With that in mind, consider Da Nico the master locksmith of Little Italy!

      Everything was and always is perfect. The restaurant is run like a well oiled machine so the service is outstanding with happy servers. Will was perfect last night. The food is always excellent which is why the restaurant is booked every night. The noise level is festive and still so comfortable to have a conversation. Finally, it’s very NY. The patrons are from the neighborhood, this is not a tourist spot.

    Discover Little Italy

    While New Yorkers usually don’t frequent Little Italy, there are old country gems that aren’t overpriced or overrun with tourists. Head to the outskirts of the neighborhood to find the best in Italian eats of all varieties—classic brick oven pizza, clam houses, mom-and-pop shops slinging chicken farm, and more. From buzzing bistros where Obama and Lenny Kravitz are VIPs to casual delis making timeless hero sandwiches, there’s a lot to taste in these historic blocks. Just remember to save room for a cannoli or other dessert of la dolce vita.
