335 Bowery (between 2nd and 3rd Street)

Gemma restaurant at the Bowery Hotel is a great neighborhood restaurant much like Pastis is for the west side! It is a classy, rustic, Tuscan-inspired gem with a vast menu that ranges from light snacks to pizzas to pastas and main courses. Recommended dishes include crisp zucchini flowers stuffed with gooey ricotta, a perfectly seasoned, wood oven-roasted Fiorentina steak and a Caprese salad with a creamy burrata. Also try the brunch on Sundays. They do not take reservations.
