This upscale, trendy Italian (originally a Nantucket transplant) makes for a pretty idyllic date night out for the culinarily enlightened. The pappardelle alla bolognese is a step removed from Bologna and bucks tradition (it should be tagliatelle) but that's not to say this menu mainstay isn't divine, while the lemony chicken al mattone (pressed with a brick) is rustic fowl perfection.
A wonderful Italian wine list, craft cocktails and select artisanal beers ensure a lively atmosphere.
