Price Description

The authentic Italian cuisine in this snazzy yet relaxed and contemporary dive is select but varied: creamy pastas and pizzas, ricotta-and-spinach-stuffed chicken, sauce-drenched sea bass, lobster and shrimp risotto, homemade gnocchi, and an appetizer of scallops sautéed in white wine. The rich caramel tones add a touch of privacy, while the orange glow emanating from the marble bar embraces a hip young crowd. Twelve red and 12 white wines on offer, as well as cocktails and martinis. Mains $9–$24.
