Editorial Review

A gaping gargoyle over the doorway ushers a young, stylish crowd into the dimly lit interior. The unique Greco-Roman-themed decor, bar-top stone gargoyles, stucco walls and gold-embossed vaulted ceiling throw a stately serenity over diners enclosed in private plush booths. The Italian fusion cuisine is as suave as the ambience, with butternut squash agnolotti with a cognac cream sauce, creole-sauced seafood linguine and pork medallions in a dill-mustard cream sauce, plus gourmet thin-crust pizzas. Banana crème brûlée in white and dark chocolate tempts those with room for more. Mains $12–$30.
