Great dinner spots
Food scene
Absolutely a gem. Tucked away in a residential neighborhood, this place has absolutely delicious Italian food, excellent wine list, lovely ambiance, especially the outside seating in summertime.
The lasagne is excellent and the malfatti is to die for. Seafood arribiata (sp?) is amazing. The spinach artichoke dip is the best I've ever had and get the fried squash blossoms if you're there in summer.
The sommelier won't let you down and the wine list is really reasonably priced.
No reservations but call an hour or so ahead for a preferred spot on the waitlist.

Comfortable local bar on the right half of the building and a dining room to the left. The food was pretty good (skip the steaks but go for the pizza or Italian options), attentive bartenders, chatty crowd of friendly folks at the bar.

Yummy wood-fired pizzas (not as good as Emma's, but still good), good salads (better than Emma's), and delicious beer brewed on-site. Cute patio area as well.

Quality "bar food". Good no-frills spot to grab a bite and watch the game. Also some great nightly specials.

Great seafood. Cocktails to die for. Fun supper-club vibe. Takes reservations.
The wine list could use some love and wish they had an outdoor eating area.
