Caffe Grazie

This bi-level eatery swarms with Met-goers lunching on a sort of Italian bento box: two savory items (think butternut-squash soup and tuna sandwich) and a sweet such as tiramisu. Straightforward Margherita pizzas and homemade gnocchi keep children sated, but there’s a good chance they’ll also be looking forward to the postmeal “make-your-own sundae” off the kids’ menu. It comes with a scoop of ice cream plus toppings like sprinkles and hot fudge.
