Restaurant · East Side

An east side institution serving traditional Italian for more than seven decades. White tablecloths, an Italian-leaning wine list, and the dish Des Moines claims as its own: steak de burgo.
New American · East Village
Seasonal American cooking with a creative streak, in a bright room with reclaimed doors hanging from the ceiling. Excellent without being fussy, which is exactly why it has been an East Village favorite for years.
Modern Mexican · East Village
Modern Mexican, craft cocktails, and late-night tacos on East Locust. The whole kitchen is gluten-free, so everyone at the table can order anything.
Pizza and tiki · East Village
Home of the original crab rangoon pizza, now on East Court in the East Village. Asian-fusion pies, rice bowls, and a tiki menu that makes it an easy late-night call.
