Il Gusto (Italian)

Herein lies a small, stylish and cozy place to linger with company over one of many pasta bowls. Spaghetti is jumbled with pancetta, black olives and pecorino, while linguine swirls around five kinds of seafood. Those not in the mood for pasta can sample the veal scaloppine and baby spinach salad with roasted pine nuts. Gorgonzola sauce adds oomph to gnocchi. Dinner here often turns into drinks, when the lounge-like atmosphere steals in around dessert-time. Mains $13–$26.
