Restaurant: Cucina Di Pesce, 87 East 4th Street (between Bowery & 2nd Avenue) www.cucinadipesce.com. Zagat Survey 2006 "Large portions and small checks" (especially the "incredible" $11.95 early-bird, a three course dinner and a glass of wine) are the appeal at this "good" ol' East Village Italian standby whose "crowded" digs scream "shabby-chic."
