"A new Italian spot in the hip Starland District, Lucia Pasta Bar pairs exposed brick and an open kitchen with delicious food that suits solo dining at the bar as well as date night in the pasta room. Order the lettuce with bright tonnato sauce, a hulking cherry tomato focaccia, and beet-stuffed scarpinocc. To wash it down, there are Negronis on draft, expertly mixed cocktails made with Italian spirits, or you can ask for a glass of the chef’s favorite Vermentino." - Lindsay Cohn
