Upbeat bossa nova entertains patrons at this friendly family restaurant. White table linens and dark wood trim give the space an inviting vibe, while the menu offers familiar northern Italian fare. Pasta dishes include con funghi and alla vodka varieties, as well as stick-to-the-ribs lasagna and meat tortellini in alfredo sauce. Chicken is served several ways (in lemon, gorgonzola or marsala), and seafood (as in salmon or shrimp brushed with garlic butter) is grilled or paired with fettuccine and mixed with calamari, mussels, scallops and clams. Table service and a lunchtime buffet lure midday munchers. Mains $7.95–$26.95.
