About

This Jewish Ghetto restaurant, with three formal dining rooms, is stylish but affordable, with a sophisticated selection of both traditional and modern dishes. Chef Luca Bonapace prepares seasonal cuisine that's varied and inventive at any time of the year. His combinations are often a surprise but generally delightful; for example, cream of fagioli (bean) soup comes not only with the traditional ingredients, but also with mussels and even octopus. The medley of fish antipasti, some of it smoked, is so tempting that you might want to make a meal of it, enjoying items such as savory fresh anchovies baked between layers of well-seasoned eggplant. Also look for such dishes as small eggplant dumplings with cherry tomatoes and shrimp or codfish Roman style with pine nuts, raisins, and tomato sauce.
