"There are times when it’s necessary to hide behind a steaming bowl of pasta and a glass of wine, like when discovering that your ex is doing just fine. Vendemmia is our preferred place for situations like that. It’s a quiet neighborhood getaway where you won’t run into your boss or your ex (who, by the way, is doing just fine). They serve a very powerful plate of spicy tomato-basil spaghetti, and their rotating lineup will feature things like pistachio pesto, tonnarelli with clams, and at least one item involving pork. If it turns out that your ex is not doing just fine and wants to get back together, Vendemmia also makes for a great date night." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
