| Riccardo Ullio's flagship restaurant and its sibling, Fritti, are adjacent to each other in this chic intown neighborhood. Tightly spaced tables and a high noise level might make the room seem void of romance, but lots of couples dine here. It’s the food. Order a platter of antipasti misti for the table as a good starter, with its arrangement of prosciutto, salami, olives and cheeses. The risotto is cooked to order, so it comes al dente. Half portions are easily accomplished not only with risotto, but also with all of the pasta choices. The seafood risotto has become nearly a culinary mantra for us, but we also like the mantecato with its drizzle of good balsamic vinegar. Whole roasted fish is a study in the grand simplicity of Italian cooking. The classic panna cotta, a simple mound of trembling white custard, comes with a sauce of reduced balsamic vinegar, but we find the balsamic vinegar intrusive and prefer it unadorned. Sotto Sotto's well-chosen all-Italian wine list complements the food, and there are plenty of choices available by the glass. The Vietti Roero Arneis is a good match with the clams and the wood-roasted fish. The bartender actually makes sure the wine he pours by the glass is in good condition before handing it over to the guest. |
