"Book a table on the wraparound porch or in one of the intimate dining rooms on the first floor of this 1880s Sherman Hill home for a charming date night. Owner Tony Lemmo pays homage to his late mother, Lou Ann, with Italian dishes like handmade cavatelli, crispy polenta cakes, and too-good-to-split walnut-spice cake. Come spring and summer, you can see Lou Ann’s purple petunias lining the window boxes that surround the Victorian home." - Karla Walsh
