 The Sena family restaurant remains a beacon of light on the Old City culinary scene. The eatery 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. Agnoletti with a measured glaze of tomato; penne with just a light toss of onions, prosciutto and Romano cheese; fat mussels; and crispy calamari in diablo sauce go well with a fiano di Avellino. Veal is first-rate, whether done with a dusting of cheese, or fresh tomatoes and basil, or as a double-thick chop with mushrooms. 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.
