 The Sena family establishment continues to set the bar high on the Old City culinary scene. The restaurant is suavely chic, in the Florentine mode, mellowed by exposed brick walls and beamed ceilings. Candles gleam, fresh flowers grace the tables, but service can seem unconcerned for non-regulars. Make a selection from the comprehensive list of Italian wines to enhance the restrained cuisine of northern Italy. Agnolotti with a measured glaze of tomato; penne with just a light toss of onions, prosciutto and Romano cheese; plump mussels; and crispy calamari in diablo sauce go well with a glass of Fiano di Avellino---the strongly flavored Italian white wine. Veal is first-rate, whether done with a dusting of cheese, or fresh tomatoes and basil, or as a double-thick chop with mushrooms. For a lighter option, try the sushi grade grilled tuna served with fresh peppers, scallions and mint. Desserts from the cart often resemble Rome’s monument to Vittorio Emanuele in their embellishment; for something simple try the light pastry filled with sweet cream.
