With Italian restaurants a dime a dozen in NYC, it's hard to know where to find the stuff grandma would approve of -- we're talking lasagna, veal Parm, and manicotti (or "manicot," as grandma might say).
When you're craving the sauciest, cheesiest, most colossal plate of Italian-American food you've ever eaten, there is only one answer: an old-school red sauce joint. Many claim they're authentic, but these are the absolute best, wise guy-approved red sauce joints the city has to offer.
