Botte Bar

This Astoria bar goes big on its draught beer, cocktails and impressive-looking wine list, but its Italian-slanted food menu looks a draw, too. There's certainly plenty of choices, with dishes ranging from bruschette, insalate and contorni to plates like carpaccio di manzo, gnocchi alla sorrentino and fresh fettuccine with pesto and shrimp. Desserts are as Italian as they come – think panna cotta, tiramisu and nutella tarts.
