La Famiglia Ristorante

Italian restaurant · Old City

"Old City's La Famiglia looks like it was a Medici's second coat room. Yes, the Versace-esque theme is tacky, but it's also fun to sit near a miniature David statue and fantasize about having enough money to buy all the marble in Carrara. Everything here tastes good, from the homemade pasta to the $56 veal chop, though nothing is truly memorable. Well, except for the owner Giuseppe going from table-to-table to make jokes and the cavernous wine cellar in the basement that has its own well." - candis mclean
