 Tony Priolo, who spent many years at Coco Pazzo, teamed with Ciro Longobardo to open this approachable, affordable, multi-regional Italian haunt. Boy, are we glad he did. Bold blue walls, a marble bar and terrazzo floors lend modern appeal. Good looks aside, however, the proof is in the food, which trots between carpaccio, roasted pear-goat cheese salad, Fontina-stuffed squash blossoms and lasagna. Then there's the succulent porchetta alla Romana, suckling pig that’s endlessly marinated and moist. Alternatively, you'll find crisp, wood-fried pizzas (we’re partial to the one with mozzarella, arugula, lemon oil and curls of Reggiano). An Italian wine list---which pours by the glass, carafe and bottle---is practically built for sipping on the vast, ivy-flocked patio on warm days and breezy nights. Wrap things up with a scoop of creamy gelato.
