| This quaint little Italian restaurant is an oasis in an area populated with fast-food chains. Locals enjoy better-than-average pasta dishes such as fettuccine bolognese, capelli puttanesca and fusilli Umbriaco (a.k.a. vodka cream sauce). Chef Marco Flores puts a nice spin on creative dishes like penne l’arrabiata and pecan-encrusted halibut cheeks with pomegranate beurre rouge. The expansive wine list has many solid, affordable wines, and the desserts are all homemade. Save room for the tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake, sweet confections worth the calories. |
