 Although founding chef Arturo Boada is gone, the modern Italian fare here is still light but flavorful. The crowd is also fun---expect a group of well-traveled professionals who live and work in the area. Lunch on pizza margherita, creamy yellow bell pepper soup or the Mela salad with apples, Gorgonzola and walnuts. For dinner, we like the frutti de mare seafood soup with mussels, clams, shrimp, snapper and mixed herbs; and the Mediterranean grilled chicken breast with olives, artichoke hearts and capers. Among a range of pastas are generous shrimp fettuccine in creamy cilantro pesto sauce and angel hair pasta with clams. If you just want an appetizer at the roomy and bustling bar, sample the tempura fried shrimp and artichoke hearts, or Sonia's ravioli stuffed with chicken and porcini mushrooms, topped with a white wine-basil sauce and lump crab meat. An antipasti tapas menu makes for good happy hour snacking.
