Whether or not you feel like dining, stop by this small, Italian-influenced café to visit one of the area's most extensive gourmet food shops. Everything from fresh Italian cheeses, prosciutto di Parma, pastas and bread to packaged specialty ingredients and stylish kitchen accessories are available. When you're through shopping, relax over salads, pizza and sandwiches or heartier entrées in what feels like a Roman rainforest. The restaurant also offers veal dishes and a number of pastas, including fettuccine Alfredo, pasta primavera and tortellini with artichokes and sun-dried tomato pesto cream sauce. All go well with the watercress salad. If you're on the run, stop by the deli counter and take home some of the antipasti or other salads made on the premises daily.
