This old-school charmer dispenses Italian-American dishes in a quaint trattoria donning a faux-balcony overhead. Rife with a nostalgic vibe (framed photos of celebs hang throughout), it's no wonder that this homey tavern has such a loyal following. But, don't be surprised if the occasional visitor wanders in looking for an escape from the Italian tourist traps nearby. The rustic menu is concise, but the portions are hearty. Start with rigatoncelli swirled with caramelized pancetta, porcini mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes in a tomato-cream sauce; before tucking into a juicy chicken breast covered with smoked mozzarella, prosciutto shavings, and served in a pool of Madeira wine sauce. Still need a drop of sweet? The lemon cheesecake is exemplary.
