“Bacaro/Smith & Mills”

Occasion:	Cuisine:	Area:	Cost:	Rating:
Night Out	Italian	Tribeca	Moderate	Good

ttentive despite the crowds, and there's a great relaxed and convivial feeling to the place. It's a perfect spot to catch up with a friend for some quiet conversation or with a date where you crave something low key and romantic without the fuss. But what's most appealing, aside from the carefully made cocktails, is the space, which is truly transporting. The décor creates an environment, almost to a movie-set degree, of a sweet little outpost for hand-worked craftsmanship. There are so many little details that bring this space to life, and it's clear a lot of thought went into every artifact, down to the mix ‘n match china.

Like Bacaro, there is eating to be done at Smith & Mills, but it is definitely beside the point. I wasn't wowed by my meals at either place, but I was pleased, and that was good enough. There are different kinds of dining, and when you're at the bar, the what's on your plate is really not as important as what's going on in the room, what's in your glass, and who's sitting right next to you.

Bacaro is located at 136 Division St., near Ludlow St., 212-941-5060.

Smith and Mills is located at 71 North Moore Street, at Greenwich Street, no phone, http://www.smithandmills.com/.
