 This sunny Italian trattoria has newspapers available at the espresso bar, plump chickens turn on the rotisserie, and fresh bread is baked in the back twice daily. Enjoy the focaccia and breadsticks, and stick with the Italian basics: salads, pizzas, pastas, and yes, that juicy chicken. Stop by in the morning for a steaming latte, and don't leave without picking up some fresh Italian breads or pastries in the adjoining bakery. Watch for monthly-changing specials reflecting various regions of Italy. This branch offers an ocean view from the patio. |
