Wood-fired Pizza
Chef Chas Anderson's wood-fired pizzeria hums with the energy of a place that executes without strain, its open room and abundant light a counterpoint to the serious work happening in back. The signature burrata pizza arrives fragrant and forgiving, while housemade pastas—veal polpettine, duck ragù rigatoni—propose a modern reckoning with red-sauce tradition.
-
Rank 2. Augustine's Salumeria
Modern Italian
Marc Taxiera's restaurant trades in the immediate bounty of Westchester—grass-fed beef stewed into mafalda, a grilled pork chop dusted with pecan ash—in a comfortable, unfussy space that doubles as a charcuterie counter. The Italian-leaning menu pivots on what's fresh, though the kitchen's nightly specials are where real choice becomes a problem.
-
Rank 3. Pizzeria La Rosa
NY-Style
-
Rank 4. Café Alaia
Italian
At Café Alaia in Scarsdale, exposed beams and a double-height ceiling frame two long, narrow rooms that hum with easy conversation.

It's the kind of Italian cooking that trades novelty for the comfort of things done well.
-
Rank 5. Maria Restaurant
Italian
The dining room at Maria balances midnight-blue leather and exposed brick with the easy chatter of regulars and visitors at the bar.

Italian
Scott and Heather Fratangelo's modest Italian room in Westchester speaks its warmth instantly: sunlit walls, bistro seating, the ease of a place that knows what it is.

-
Rank 8. The Cookery
Italian
A modest storefront in Dobbs Ferry where unconventional cooking draws steady crowds of couples and families.

Oaxacan Mexican
A dimly lit room in Riverdale lined with Oaxacan pottery and clay masks sets the stage for cooking that respects tradition without performing it.

Indian
At Raasa, the menu traces a path through India's regional cuisines with precision and brightness: a bhel puri arrives as a calibrated play of sweet, spicy, and tart, while lamb curry achieves balance through tomato, onion, and subtle ginger against the soft give of garlic naan and cooling raita. Kulfi falooda—threaded with vermicelli and rose—closes the meal with deliberate charm.

A vintage diner wedged into the East Village serves vegetarian cooking that doesn't apologize for what it isn't. Brooks Headley's menu—quinoa-and-chickpea burgers, beans with escarole and provolone—prizes bold seasoning and textural contrast over imitation, while desserts drawn from his pastry training elevate the experience beyond counter food.

California Mediterranean
Stephen Starr and Roman and Williams craft a bright, wood-floored brasserie where California cooking meets Mediterranean ingredients in understated elegance. Hand-cut beef tartare and roasted King salmon arrive with the precision of a chef who knows restraint.

Rank 96. Oxomoco
Mexican
A lively Greenpoint room where casual surfaces hide serious ambition: tacos arrive loaded with chanterelle or the day's catch, but the kitchen roams Mexico's regions with equal conviction, from tropical hamachi agua chile to smoky tlayuda to brined and smoked chicken. Vibrant, balanced, never showy.

Rank 97. Hav & Mar
Ethiopian
At a spare corner on Eleventh Avenue, Chefs Marcus Samuelsson and Fariyal Abdullahi honor Ethiopian and Swedish ancestry through restrained plating and cross-cultural ingredient work. The Swediopian—berbere-cured salmon layered with apple, mustard seed caviar, and injera chips—distills their approach into a single, assured dish.

Rank 98. Junoon
Indian
Pendant lights and white marble set a refined stage where contemporary Indian cooking meets restless ambition, each plate a small argument for why tradition needn't mean stillness. Tuna puchka arrives jeweled with caviar; the Assamese tile fish curry hums with cilantro and restraint.

Rank 99. HWARO
Korean
An unmarked counter on the second floor of a Midtown steakhouse, where Chef Sungchul Shim orchestrates a twenty-two-seat fusion of Korean flavor and French precision across a composed, unhurried evening. The brown butter miso opens into wild amberjack, abalone, and white soy custard with caviar, each plate a small study in restraint and technique.
