"Seeking refuge from the packed outdoor cafe at this popular Italian spot, we tucked into a cozy table inside and ordered the chicken paillard ($37), which proved anything but modest: a grilled breast that took up nearly an entire plate, barely visible under a mountain of vegetables and salad. The meat was tender, moist, and perfectly seasoned; fresh arugula, radicchio, cherry tomatoes, corn, green beans, and avocado added texture and flavor, while bruleed goat cheese and lemon vinaigrette enlivened the whole dish. The portion was impossible to finish, leaving plenty for lunch the next day." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
