Don Giovanni

Amaury Adrian Acosta

I love Don Giovanni! It’s one of my favorite Italian restaurants in NYC — ever since I first came here as a child into adulthood. The food is fantastic!

Great Italian food perfect for a date night. Not directly on 9th Avenue which makes it harder to come by. I love their chicken parm and the service always seems to be quick.

This was the former location of the original Improv where I spent most of my time in the 80s scouting out new comics. Over the years, I have become close friends with the owners and staff of Don Giovanni’s. I have even produced comedy shows there, in front of the original “Brick Wall,” which they wisely kept from the original Improv. I brought back many comics from the 80s and 90s to bring laughter back in front of the wall. We were all happy to be back together. Don Giovanni’s truly makes me feel like family, and I always get a huge hug from Asaf, Nina, Chris, Roi, and Kimi.

The pizza — Need I say more?

This is our go-to place for pizza, the Caprina Pizza is out of this world.

Not only the great pizza, but also the history — I remember when it was the improv club. Dining against that wall is like having a beer with the greatest comedians of all time!
