| Another BYOB Italian restaurant---but this one has the attraction of specializing in branzino, a Mediterranean sea bass. The chef’s rendition is grilled whole, dressed simply with olive oil, lemon, fresh herbs and capers and filleted tableside. Branzino also has traditional fare such as buffalo mozzarella with roasted peppers, a very rich tortellini soup that tastes like Mother's chicken soup, and first-rate veal scaloppine with artichokes. On a cold winter’s night, the tender osso buco is the ultimate comfort food. Try the cheesecake, and enjoy the attention of the staff, the sparkling chandeliers and murals of Italy that decorate this charming setting. |
