NileGuide Expert tip:
Don't skip over the complimentary bread and pesto sauce--it's just as good as everything on the menu.
Description:
Daniel Scordato's urban Italian restaurant has a decidedly upscale feel, but don't let the prim and proper setting deter you from sampling one of the city's best Italian restaurants. First courses include the Spinach and Cheese Souffle, featuring a creamy Parmigiano sauce that is just as good as it sounds. Pasta dish stand-outs include the Penne with Sausage, featuring roasted red peppers and tomato sauce, baked with fresh Fontina cheese. An extensive list of Italian wines and open, airy setting make this a perfect escape from the chain food jungle. A bit pricey, but perfect for a special lunch, dinner, or date night.
