As a present for its ten-year birthday, this farm-fresh Italian restaurant received a facelift (and got Kimpton alum Luca Corazzina as its head chef). Decidedly more grown-up in appearance these days, it remains inviting enough for a casual affair but glossy enough to seem celebration-worthy. Given its proximity to the theater district, the restaurant does a brisk business as one might expect, but all the warm wood details, crisp-linen tables and low lighting are clearly built for romance. The kitchen remains steadfast in its commitment to serve seasonal and, when possible, local fare. So, spinach-flecked strozzapreti teams with walnuts and Gorgonzola cream sauce, while fish stew benefits from plum tomato and white wine broth.
