Bar Pisellino

Bar Pisellino is not just any corner spot in the West Village. Jody Williams and Rita Sodi, of the across-the-street megahit Via Carota, are behind it. The all-day Italian café is geared toward locals stepping up to the oak-paneled bar for coffee and moist olive-oil cake in the morning, panini and cacio e pepe potato chips later in the day, and Aperol spritzes on tap whenever the mood strikes. It’s mostly standing room (no reservations), but see if you can score a sidewalk table.
