I was gonna recommend gaetanos, then there is pagliachis just down the street. That's authentic and almost mafia like lol. Then there is one on 42nd and wads but I can't remember the name.

#1 Job in the world, being a Dad!
Plus one for Patsy's. Casual environment, good food and reasonably priced. Oh and full bar. Kind of tucked into a neighborhood and sorta lends that ma and pa feeling.
Amici's is at 42nd and Wads- that's a good place too- but at their old location they did not take credit cards, so if you go there prepare for that possibility.
These places are pretty good.

Been to both had no complaints.
Patsys...No doubt about it. I have been eating there for over 12 years and have never had anything but good food. Oh its also where I got engauged to the wife.
YOU ARE COMPLACENT !! DO YOU VOTE ? MAKE CALLS ? OR DO YOU JUST HIDE AND TAKE IT ? THEN YOU WANT TO BE A PATHETIC COMPLAINER AFTER THE FACT! HIDE IN THE SHADOWS TURN AWAY AND SOON THE GIFT WILL BE ....TYRANNY!!!
If you make it over to Aurora ever ( I realize that's not I70 and Kipling) check out Armando's. Really good, great prices. Very comparable alfredo sauce to what I ate Italy.
As the resident Italian on this board I feel I must chip in:
Parisi, 4401 Tennyson, would be a very good restaurant even in Italy, contrarily to all those Americanaized pseudo-Italian restaurant mentioned so far.
You may like them, but it ain't real Italian food.
Parisi, and more specifically the downstairs restaurant called "Firenze a tavola" are the only spot, togheter with "Il Fornaio", where I will eat Italian.
Trust me, I'm Italian!![]()
Fazolli's was better than Amichis.
EDIT: I had my directions backward. It is on 44th, just west of Wadsworth.
Vincenza's Italian Bakery
