The Scene
Forty seats tucked into a storefront between the sidewalk and railroad tracks. When trains pass, fresh carnations tremble in their vases on tables set with white linen. A mural fancifully depicts a gondola crossing Lake Ivanhoe, which you can glimpse from a couple of the streetside tables.

The Food
Scrumptious, with similar menus (but different prices) for lunch and dinner. The menu celebrates pasta: your choice of noodle in choice of sauce, as well as cream-based specialties such as fettuccini carbonara and cannelloni. Although Gargi's buys its Italian ice creams, it bakes its cakes. Try the Ravioli funguetto, with porcini mushrooms, cream, and parmesan. Chicken and veal alla Gargi's presents a scaloppine of each in another knockout sauce of white wine and lemon. Save room for one of the best cannoli in town.
