"Chef Nick Lama’s Avo shines with regional Italian goodness. Reserve a table in the window-lined renovated dining room Tuesday through Saturday, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Lama’s menu reflects his Sicilian heritage, but he wanders the boot, offering the likes of veal Parmesan, charred Calabrian chili-glazed octopus, and homemade gnocchi topped with pork ragu and gremolata." - Beth D’Addono
