Olio e Più: Candlelight, Carbonara and the Village at Its Prettiest
Every neighborhood keeps one restaurant for its most romantic evenings; Greenwich Village keeps Olio e Più. Candlelit, wine-warmed and unapologetically Italian, it has become the default answer to “somewhere charming tonight” — and the charm holds up to repeat visits.
The Concept
A trattoria in the southern Italian spirit: house-made pasta, hand-stretched pizza, seasonal ingredients and la dolce vita served nightly. The name promises “oil and more” — olive oil as a philosophy, generosity as the house style, from weekend brunch through late dinner.
What to Order
Start with caprese or the fritto misto, then commit to the carbonara that half the Village swears by — or a blistered pizza from the oven if the evening calls for sharing. The Italian wine list rewards curiosity, and the tiramisu is the non-negotiable finale. Weekend brunch adds a softer, sunlit register to the same kitchen.
The Space
An interior that feels collected rather than decorated: vintage furniture, old plates with histories, warm wood and enough candlelight to flatter everyone at the table. The open kitchen supplies the soundtrack, and the leafy terrace turns a dinner into a small Italian holiday.
Who It’s For
Date nights and anniversaries on a human scale, girlfriends catching up over wine, brunch tables in no hurry — and travelers who want the postcard version of a Village evening to actually exist.
Good to Know
Is it romantic in winter too? Arguably at its best — candlelight, wine and the oven’s warmth do their finest work in cold months.
Do they serve brunch? Weekend brunch, yes — Italian takes on the classics in a gentler, daylit mood.
How far ahead should I book? A few days for weekend evenings; weekday nights are kinder to spontaneity.
Can dietary needs be accommodated? Easily — vegetarian options abound and the kitchen adjusts pastas and pizzas graciously.
Is it suitable for small celebrations? Lovely for birthdays à deux or tables of six — intimate rather than banquet-scaled.

Wonderful interior and attentive service. Definitely book a table in advance. Also note that it can get very noisy inside.
