"There’s nothing like the charm and comfort of old-school Italian food, and Gilda’s offers it in spades. In a dining room lined with paintings of Italy, visitors order rigatoni in Bolognese, veal scallopini, or spaghetti and meatballs, glass of Sangiovese in hand. For dessert: A scoop of spumoni topped with cured black cherries, or an affogato to pump you up for the game." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Thom Hilton
