Steaks and pasta, but their fried clams and the Yukon Gold potato pizza with artichokes and white truffle oil are our favorites. Full drink menu and a sophisticated martini bar on the second floor.

Italian food. This place is new and we haven't been here, but they did a fabulous job renovating the place. It has big windows that open onto the street, sophisticated decor, and a wall-mounted fireplace. It has been busy, which we take as a good sign!
