Profile

What seems at first like yet another copycat Italian outpost, and a pricey one at that, is actually pleasantly understated, with yachtlike wood finishes, a proud host on the floor, and real finesse in the kitchen. Three courses can quickly add up, but garlicky mussels in pesto, half an order of clam-and-tomato-tossed scialatielli noodles, and a glass of red wine make pretheater sense.

Prix-Fixe Menu

Daily, 4:30 p.m.—7:30 p.m., three courses, $30

Didn't expect much for a last-minute pick of an Italian restaurant in in mid-town near B'way but was very pleased by quality of food, wine, and service. Got a $80 bottle of wine for $40 when we asked about wine specials.
