If it were a few years ago (early 2000's) I would have said Roberto's without hesitation. He's opened a bunch of places around both the neighborhood and in the city and Westchester, and in my opinion, spread himself too thin. The food is good, a bit expensive, but not standout because he's never around.
The other places in the neighborhood are Italian-American places and worthy of checking out maybe for other reasons....like Rigoletto's for the bar scene which is now not what it was that all the Westside guys went away. Mario's is an old-time red sauce joint that actually makes awesome pizza in addition to the restaurant. Roberto's has an offshoot called 089 (for the area code for Salerno) and it's more reasonably priced and decent food. If you go during the daytime as a tourist or shopper your best bet might be to grab something at one of the places in the Arthur Ave market. Great people watching for a few bucks.
Anyway, hope that little bit helps.
Oh and Popeyes chicken is actually the best fast food chicken around IMHO. It's Daniel Cormier's kryptonite.
