 A happening place enhanced by an open kitchen and a 60-foot white marble bar on the ground floor named “D.O.C.” (there’s also a second bar upstairs), this venture is by restaurateurs Emad Yacoub and Jack Lamont. The bar is an asset not lost on the high-energy patrons---a vibrant mix of young professionals eager to relax. Chef Ryan Gauthier deftly combines the flavors and influences of Italy's different regions to create a traditional Italian feast. His antipasto platter resounds with the freshness and simplicity of crispy calamari with tomato bordetto, jumbo prawns, eggplant Parmigiana, fennel-crusted ahi, spicy meatballs, osso buco crocchette, forno baked clams, and a caprese salad that shines when heirlooms are in season. An imported gas-fired brick oven turns out crisp pizza crusts with savory toppings. The meat platter includes grilled rib-eye steak, veal piccata, herb and garlic lamb chops, and polenta bolognese. Classic pastas include a choice of pomodoro, aglio olio, Alfredo, carbonara, bolognese and pesto. The cellar is stocked with solid Italian vintages and new- and old-world offerings. Enthusiastic service adds to the pleasure.
