Address: 302 E 12th St Zipcode: 10003 Phone Number: 212.475.9531 An old fashioned treat, Johns serves some of the best Italian classics in the city. Dishes like Eggplant Rolatina and Veal Marsala go for less than they would in most tourist spots in Little Italy and the daily specials are usually outstanding. The ambiance is very retro, complete with frescos and candlelight. In such comfortable environs, you will feel equally comfortable bringing anyone from a date to your mother. Cash only.
