"This casual Rice Village cafe serves as a place to satisfy Italian food cravings in between exploring the area’s many shops and boutiques. Choose from sandwiches like spicy subs and meat-filled hoagies; wood-fired pizzas; and homemade pasta plates, like crawfish ravioli stuffed with ricotta and Romano cheeses and poblano peppers, and then topped with crema rosa sauce. Visit during lunch, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when lunch-sized portions of pasta come with a side salad for under $11." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley
