The open kitchen's high arches and beautiful mosaics blend well with the restaurant's theatrical interiors. Yet dining in a splendid ambience will not lessen your attention to the mouthwatering Italian food. The pizza crusts are just perfect and the lasagna is as tender as required. Appetizers like American Kobe Beef Meatballs ($14) and Italian Sausage Pizza with broccoli rabe, caramelized onions and roasted garlic ($14) are popular choices. Carnivorous fans can dig into the Slow Roasted Chicken Lasagna with roasted mushrooms and smoked mozzarella ($19) while the Mustard Glazed Atlantic Salmon with chilled summer beans, olives and tomatoes is fit for any fish freak. And the varied desserts make a satisfying and sweet ending.
