Best in the East Village!
We're always treated well, it's lively but still romantic, great Negronis, delicious food, highly professional and personable staff and Yorgos is simply the best Restaurateur in NYC. Hands down -it's our favorite place to go for well over a decade!

Lavagna is a charming restaurant offering an excellent dining experience in a cozy, local atmosphere. The menu features standout dishes like the spinach ravioli with creamy porcini sauce and the pork chop, both highly recommended. Guests can also enjoy the Penne with sausage and peas in a pink cream sauce, a must-try. The warm and gracious staff create a memorable ambiance, making dining at Lavagna feel like a special experience akin to a small European town. Despite being a bustling spot, the restaurant maintains a lovely and helpful service, even when packed. Lavagna is a hidden gem, perfect for a romantic date night or a long-overdue catch-up over wine, with a small but carefully curated menu that never disappoints.
