"Giada De Laurentiis’s restaurant is the embodiment of the Food Network star herself, which means Italian food that grew up in California, brought to you by servers as bubbly as the Prosecco they pour. Giada takes pasta seriously here, right down to the pronunciation. There are phonetics on the menu, so you can confidently order the creamy kah-choh-eh-peh-peh-boo-kah-tee-nee without skipping a beat. We recommend the neatly twirled tower of bright, al dente lemon spaghetti that you’ve heard her (and everyone else) talk about so much over the years. Don’t leave without a bite of the famous fluffy lemon ricotta cookies before going to see rappers like Lil Wayne at Drai’s Nightclub elsewhere in The Cromwell.
