 Irvine's branch of this Italian chain is quite chic with its blond woods and bistro-esque outdoor patio. Its core lunch and dinner menus include a selection of antipasti, soups, salads, wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, grilled and rotisserie-roasted meats and a wide variety of desserts. The open kitchen is a delight to watch, and so is the action in the bakery just beyond it that sells Italian-style breads as well as pastries and coffee. Favorite entrées include the stuffed center-cut pork chop and the rosemary rotisserie-roasted chicken. You can't go wrong with any of the pizzas (the vegetarian option is particularly good), or with fresh pasta dishes such as seafood linguine or shells with chicken and spinach. There's a good selection of Italian wines, and the patio is great for schmoozing and people-watching.
