Editorial Review

Locals love this Italian resto for a family-style supper or intimate dinner date. Gourmet pizzas pop from the gleaming wood-fired ovens up front, while piles of pasta, grilled meat and seafood emerge from the back kitchen. The vibe is lively and romantic, thanks to warm stucco walls, classical statues and golden lighting. Effusive owners offer impromptu lessons on Persian history over antipasto. Mains $15–$30.
