"Home of the original cappuccino" since 1927, Caffe Reggio is an effective Italian cafe in Greenwich Village, serving celebrities and passersby alike. Reggio succeeds where so many European-style cafes fail because it feels unconcerned with the opinions of others—not in terms of service, not by a long shot—it is simply resolutely itself, and that attitude gives the place an intoxicating vibe and a level of comfort in dining (or just getting a cup of coffee) that's rare in New York in general, let alone within the careening environs of NYU's Greenwich Village Thunderdome.
