I would recommend Marchi's E. 31. It is alittle out of the way but the foood is very very good (not excellent but not the excellent price either). About $40-45 per person, without tip, tax of alcohol. Their motto is "No sign outside, no menu inside". I think it is oneof the best values in NYC dining. From its web site...
You will not be provided with a menu—no decision, no problems! Instead you'll suddenly find set before you . . .
The First Course consists of platters of antipasto . . . celery, melon, radishes, finocchio (a delicious Italian winter celery), Genoa salami, and a Lorenzo salad created by Signor Lorenzo Marchi, consisting of tuna fish, olives, capers, chopped celery, parsley, and red cabbage.
The Second Course is a steaming portion of lasagna, unlike any you have ever tasted. The pasta, of course, is homemade, and the sauce, made by Signor Lorenzo Marchi, is a family secret perfected only after many years of patient improvements.
Next you will be served delectably crisp, deep-fried fish, which virtually melts in your mouth. Savory cold beets and string beans are prepared with a simple oil and vinegar dressing to accompany it. As in everything you'll taste at Marchi's Restaurant, the flavors are delicate and subtle. Each dish has just a hint of something unusual in the way of seasoning to tempt your palate.
It's a far cry from the heavy concoctions usually thought of as typically Italian. Keep this in mind when choosing one of the fine Italian wines available. We offer an extensive wine list.
The Fourth Course consists of roast chicken and moist, tender slices of roast veal accompanied by a heaping platter of superbly cooked fresh mushrooms and a bowl of tossed salad.
The Fifth Course is dessert. You will find your table laden with a bowl of fruit, consisting of peaches, bananas, oranges, pears, and apples so perfect you'll think that they came straight out of a still life picture. A delicious cheese will also be served to complement the fruit. For your sweet tooth, there is the Crema Fritta (a lemon fritter) and a spectacular mound of Crostoli, which is crisp, fragile, deep-fried twists sprinkled with powdered sugar and piled high on the platter in an arrangement that looks like a fairytale castle.
Your dinner is completed with a serving of a demitasse. American coffee or tea is also available. Please visit us for a fine dining experience you will not soon forget!
You may also check out the restaurants with the NYC 2005 meals. $20.05 for a whole meal. Cite is also a steak house whcoih has a good prix fixe meal including all the wine you can drink.
Have fun.
