In New York it's really hard to find a restaurant with good food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. However, my friends and I know of such place in Greenwich Village: Rocco Ristaurante at 181 Thompson Street, just off Houston Street (please, please DO NOT confuse this joint with that Rocco DiSpirito place on that failed reality show from some years ago; this Rocco's is a beloved institution dating from 1922).
When you go into Rocco, the friendly maitre'd will be shake your hand with a smile and hang up your coat. There's usually no wait or a very short one for a table. Then, while you're browsing the menu, the waiters will bring you an absolutely delicious bruschetta that you can munch on while selecting your anitpasti, carni, etc. The Italian food has a homecooked taste (I strongly recommend their veal dishes) and, for dessert, you MUST try the Tiramisu - best I've ever had.
Places like Rocco are few and far between in New York these days so I strongly suggest it if you're looking for a pleasant place for dinner with friends.
