We get to NYC a few times a year and since discovering this place a couple years ago we try to make it our main Italian dinner/lunch of the visit. I usually pick one entree and stick with it, but the half dozen times we've been here I've tried all my favorites and have never been disappointed. Bonus: they make a great cocktail and have an exhaustive wine selection. Only downside, and it's my bad... never have room for dessert!
Pros: Subway stop right in front, reasonable cab fare from LGA or JFK
Cons: Wine list a bit daunting, but that's me...
