With its tin ceiling, Casablanca-style fans and long tiled bar, it's easy to see what sets this Little Italy bistro apart from the other spaghetti and meatball joints. The menu, which boasts a small selection of thin-crust, handmade pizzas, traditional pasta dishes and no-fuss entrées, is reliably satisfying. Start with the bruschetta topped with spinach, feta and artichoke. Then move on to any of the pasta dishes for a true Italian feast. We recommend the fettuccine Fellini, with its blend of whole tomatoes, pancetta and Gorgonzola in creamy Parmesan sauce. Desserts, if you’ve saved room, include a banana chocolate cake. The house allegiance to Italian wines makes for an interesting, yet affordable, sipping experience. For entertainment, enjoy screenings of classic Italian films, often projected on the restaurant’s back wall.
