"Walk into Ophelia’s and you’ll see an over-the-top amount of framed photos and old Italian ads on the wall, along with the constant din of busyness from the kitchen. The only thing that breaks the spell is the occasional off-key rendition of “Any Man of Mine” wafting in from the party tractors a few blocks out. But it’s easy to tune that out if you just focus on the piatto mille dollari (or what we like to call the “ginormous charcuterie board”) and crispy pizzas with mortadella, bacon, and drizzles of truffle honey. Ophelia also makes one of the best desserts in the city: the insanely rich cannoli sundae made with ricotta ice cream." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
