"In an unassuming strip mall behind a gas station, this elegant Italian restaurant will transport you to chef Juri Sbandati’s home in Tuscany. Photos of bicycles and the Florence city crest add to the feeling of an Italian getaway, where the tagliatelle and pappardelle are hand-made and topped with traditional Bolognese or Chiantigiana, a Chianti-based sauce with Italian sausage and fennel. Steak, pork, and pan-seared fish make up the secondi, along with giant polpette meatballs made from the Sbandati family recipe." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
