Had no idea Lavagna was still in business. "Named after the Italian word for lasagna," according to that piece. I hope that's a joke.
A long time East Villager told me that the only restaurants in that neighborhood worth a damn are Lucien, Emilio's Ballato (technically in Nolita), and Miss Lily's. I don't know Jamaican, so I can't vouch for the latter, but Lucien and Ballato are the ones I gravitate to when I'm in the area and get my full endorsement.
