Warm woodwork and black booths provide a welcoming and sophisticated atmosphere at this pleasant bistro near the beaches and the popular 17th Street shopping/hotel area. There's a contemporary look here, but the food focuses on traditional Italian fare, ranging from a variety of pastas to veal, beef and chicken favorites featuring the flavors of the Mediterranean. A 16-ounce veal chop is a particularly succulent offering, and you can wind up lunch or dinner with a creme brulee.
