As on the West Side, offer your community excellent pizza and its gratitude will be generous.
Via Tevere’s (Gold) Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana-certified pies arrive at the table after a mere 90 seconds in a 900-degree wood oven, ready to be nobly consumed with a knife and fork or ripped by hand and greedily stuffed into one’s face. (Both methods are acceptable.) The “simple, honest French comfort food” and “tight, well-priced wine list” at
Bistro Wagon Rouge (Silver) are a delight, particularly given that they can be enjoyed in a room that is the polar opposite of stereotypical Gallic pretension—arrive in jeans, leave with a cassoulet stain on your shirt, no one will care. Tied for Bronze,
Campagnolo Roma and
Mr. Red Cafe—mere steps from each other on East Hastings—offer handsomely portioned, senses-filling Italian and Northern Vietnamese fare, respectively. There is no wrong choice.
Honourable Mention: Chicha
