My children adore Via Quardronno, a charming little Italian restaurant tucked into 73rd Street and corner of Madison Avenue. The staff is attentive and playful with children…it is usually quite busy up front…but go straight to the back and usually seats are available.

Our favorites are Carpaccio Classico, Insalata Della Casa con Avocado, and Risotto Milanese con Funghi. There is a wonderful selection of Gelati and Sorbetti….which is always popular with the little ones, and Payard’s French croissants and Brioches are heavenly!
