The Scene
Soaring ceilings, gilt-framed pictures and a sinuous marble bar create an airy atmosphere where sleek, young professional types mix and match. This is a fun place for a cocktail or two after work with friends, but it's also a great lunch and dinner spot. Bring the boss or a first date you're trying to impress.

The Food
Robust, wood-fired rotisserie chicken; first-rate, oven-roasted pizza; truly classic Italian pastas; and superb desserts.

What to Order
Try the conchiglie al pollo--shell pasta with chicken breast, broccoli, sundried tomatoes and roasted garlic. Or the simple, utterly refreshing spaghettini al pomodoro.

What to Skip
The ravioli fatti, too fish-infused. The tagliatelle alla bolognese, too tart and missing needed sweetness or creaminess.
