The Scene
A recent renovation has given this cozy neighborhood spot just a hint of glamour. The decor is dominated by shades of yellow and terra cotta. A curved bar sweeps along one side of the restaurant and pizza-parlor-style booths run down the center. French doors open out onto a bright patio. Gracious, friendly service makes everyone--even first-timers--feel like regulars.

The Food
This is no-frills, Italian-American food at its best. Start with a loaf of fragrant, pillowy focaccia bread. Skewers with mozzarella and cherry tomatoes topped with tangy vinaigrette offer a nice alternative to salad, but would be better with perfectly ripe tomatoes. Fettuccine, loaded with buttery alfredo sauce, is the ultimate comfort dish; a dash of marinara cuts the richness of the alfredo. Individual pizzas with perfectly crispy crusts are the menu's highlight. Try one topped with garlicky pesto instead of the basic marinara. If you've got room for dessert, share a slice of creamy, New York-style cheesecake.

Hours: Mon-Thu 11am-3pm, 5pm-10pm, Fri 11am-3pm, 5pm-10:30pm, Sat 5pm-10:30pm, Sun 5pm-10pm
