Al Fogolâr

The room’s dark wood beams, plaster walls, wrought-iron chandeliers and open hearth (or fogolâr) create the feel of a traditional private club—the ideal spot to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary or enjoy a family supper. Such classic northern Italian fare as grilled polenta, calamari and salt cod are artfully modernized. Fantastic pappardelle comes with succulent roast pheasant and softened cherry tomatoes tossed in a simple rosé sauce that lets the rosemary flavour shine. A decent wine list and attentive service. Closed Monday and Tuesday evenings. Mains $16–$37.
