"This cash-only, no-reservations Italian spot is a local favorite for its affordable classic fare in an exposed-brick space. The menu encompasses a handful of pastas, like fettuccini with shellfish ragu and gnocchi with butter and sage. Meaty mains include sautéed calf’s liver and sliced prime rib; a range of Sicilian options are also scattered throughout, like a rigatoni dish with roasted eggplant, tomatoes, and ricotta. It’s especially pleasing to eat here during warm weather, when the front windows open to the sidewalk." - Alexandra Ilyashov
