Via Carota

A rustic gastroteca in the West Village, Via Carota serves authentic Italian cuisine with gourmet flair. The interiors are chic and intimate, with exposed brick walls, wooden floors and vintage décor. The casual, convivial atmosphere suits the dishes that range from light and flavorful appetizers (there are nearly 20 veggie-centric starters) to hearty pastas and meat entrees. Don’t miss the signature svizzerina, a burger-like creation of chopped New York strip steak served with abundant seasoning and sans bun.
