For a memorable night in town, don your best dress, find a hand to hold, and head to this dreamy longtime favorite, tinged with a sense of bygone romance. Stop off at the circular bar and join the well-heeled couples sipping cocktails pre-or post-opera. Snag a seat upstairs where tables dot a candle-lit balcony overlooking the lower levels, and stunning arched windows showoff views of the bustling street. Delectable dishes like wild fennel pappardelle with oxtail ragout, cherry tomatoes, and Niçoise olives; or ravioli bursting with autumnal squash, roasted bell peppers, provolone, and crispy sage keep locals happy. The Monday night three-course prix-fixe (with wine pairings) for $45 is a steal, while the chef's nightly tasting menu makes a fine feast.
