When Nolita's Peasant opened its doors, it did so to the applause of area residents and couples looking to get cozy, who craved a stylish alternative to the traditional Mulberry Street eateries. Everything is cooked in a wood-fired oven and the result is a rustic, modern take on Italian cuisine. Appetizers come to your table on clay earthenware, smelling as good as they taste. The kitchen staff does not spare garlic, olive oil, and Italian herbs and spices, so be sure to share. After all, if you've both had garlic, neither of you will mind going in for a late-night kiss.

- Romantic Dining: "Don't miss sitting downstairs. There's nothing quite like a dark, cool cellar to transport your taste buds directly to the Tuscan hillside."
- Little Italy's Best Restaurants: "Sit downstairs or try for a different time. The ambiance below is unmatched due to the dark mood lighting and underground vibes. It feels like you're dining in a Tuscan wine cave."
- Best for Romantic Dining Because: Rustic, yet modern fare served in the sultry ambiance provided by the underground cellar makes for a sublimely romantic dinner.
- Best for Little Italy's Best Restaurants Because: The downstairs room feels like an Italian wine cellar hidden in the Tuscan hills.
