"This Italian restaurant is Nob Hill’s answer for nicer-than-average date nights and slow, wine-fueled Friday suppers. Pasta is the main event here, so come ready to devour carbonara ravioli (a combination we’d like to see more of) and forkfuls of lamb ragout. Throw in an extensive wine list and staff who can make conversing about copper fork rests interesting, and you’ve got your new candlelit go-to in the area." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
