The polenta is served on an wood plank with a bolognese...they nailed it! Come check this place out.

The picante is spicy and delicious. Chorizo with Basque peppers, tomatoes, a soft cheese, and a healthy dose of olive oil on a big crusty ciabatta.
Stellar thin crust pizzas, but don't overlook the pastas — they're phenomenal. [Eater 38 Member]
All the pastas are homemade so you can't go wrong, but the cavatelli is a personal fave. Also: the vodka pie, the braised vegetables, the cannoli.

This place is great. The sushi is so good and its so well prices. The lunch special and 3$ happy hour are great but even their regular menu is reasonable. 21 piece sashimi platter for 22$

Spaghetti Limone is surprisingly good, but it's literally just spaghetti with lemon and parmesan cheese. Gnocchi was very solid. Skip the Burrata Mozzarella.
Old style Japanese restaurant. They'll save your bottle of saki FOR YEARS with your name on it.
The lobster mac & cheese is the food equivalent of having sex on a cloud w/ Hall & Oates "One on One" playing on repeat. Not even kidding.

Though some of the Asian fusion food here is a bit overwrought, small plates like chicken wings, house pickles, and crispy pig's ears are worth sharing.
