Will be in Manhattan for my 40th b-day on 11/25, looking for italian restaurant recommendations. My wife and I will be in NYC this weekend to celebrate my birthday. Just curious if anyone could recommend a nice place to eat, preferably italian, but open for suggestions. Thanks.

[Rubirosa](http://rubirosanyc.com/) is probably my favorite restaurant in the city, might be too short notice for a reservation though. I also recommend: Zero Otto Nove http://www.089 nyc.roberto089.com/ Lil Frankies http://lilfrankies.com/ (cash only) Supper http://supperrestaurant.com/ (cash only) I've heard very good things about Quality Italian but haven't been yet http://www.qualityitalian.com/home.cfm
