The Favazza family has hit on a recipe for differentiating its restaurant from the competition on The Hill. It’s an almost-addictive garlic bread that arrives before the meal (and, if you’re not careful, could become the meal). The second-most-addictive dish might be the chocolate-amaretto pie, if you have room left for dessert. The menu offers the classic Italian dishes one would expect --- homemade lasagna, chicken Parmigiana and veal piccata --- followed by desserts like tiramisu and cannoli. There are no surprises on the wine list either. Service is usually friendly enough, but when the 300 seats start filling up on weekend nights, it can be impersonal. The covered outdoor patio features an unusual, warming, two-tiered fireplace.
