In Short
Romantic pairs relax at small tables in this rustic, candlelit dining room. Italian-accented servers recommend wine and food they know well. The simple menu focuses on fresh ingredients rather than ornate presentation. Garlicky chopped tomatoes garnish almost every plate, including the popular prosciutto, melon, arugula and fresh mozzarella appetizer. Pastas dominate the menu, and entrees are pared down to classic veal dishes and nightly seafood specials. Dessert highlights are ice cream in a hollowed-out orange and creamy tiramisu.
