The Scene
This restaurant transports palates and minds directly to Italy from its softly gurgling fountain to its pizzas reminiscent of those found at Tuscany sidewalk cafes. Moderately priced Californian and Italian bottles dominate the wine list, though excellent martinis and Manhattans are available.
The Food
The golden-fried calamari appetizer is so generous you'll have to share. The salad with baby lettuces, walnuts, saga blue cheese and hot apple dressing is a revelation to the tastebuds with a variety of flavors and textures intermingling. Updated classics include pasta dishes and gourmet pizzas, a few made with the eponymous porcini mushrooms. The veal in white wine and lemon caper sauce is refreshingly light, while the pork medallions wrapped in prosciutto and drizzled with a sweet Marsala wine and fig sauce are an adventure in indulgence.
