It's easy to find expensive, mediocre places to eat in NYC, but finding a reasonable place with good Italian is a real gem. Pisticci, a few blocks north of Columbia's campus at 125 La Salle St. (between 122nd and 123rd Streets), impressed me today with a great lunch menu, comfortable atmosphere and great dessert menu. If you're in that neighborhood, give it a try -- you can get a good lunch there for less than $10, easy, and I'm sure dinner is similarly reasonable. I had the orecchiette with broccoli raab and sausage, and it was some of the best Italian I've had in NYC. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
