Whether you enter from the street level via elevator or from the terrace below, Scoozzi's will delight and surprise you. Despite its location in a post-modern concrete structure, the interior is warm and bright, with a funky vegetable mural in the main dining area. The menu starts with innovative salads and pizzettes and moves on to creative pastas, risottos and a variety of meats and seafood as the main dishes. There is a jazz brunch on Sundays, and great outdoor seating in warm weather for people watching. Cigar smokers are welcome on the patio in the summer.
