Centro Vinoteca (CLOSED)

Sparkling lights and whitewashed brick walls adorn the quiet second-floor dining room of this upscale West Village trattoria, the backdrop for stellar Italian fare like crisp gnocchi coated in a rich lamb bolognese and a succulent rib eye with broccoli rabe and a creamy potato-fontina cake. Diners seeking a more casual experience can linger in the downstairs lounge over piccolini (small plates) and a quartino of wine plucked from the all-Italian list.
