Stephanie C.Stephanie Chang: Have the "carciofini vura" (baby artichokes) baked and serve in a light lemon sauce, you won't regret it. I also recommend Eggplant Parmigiana, so light and layers thinly sliced, great tomato sauce!

Bin Y.Bin Yang: Charming, attentive and not overbearing service. I recommend starting with some daily special apps, a pasta, then move on to the stuffed veal. Incredibly light ricotta cheesecake to finish.

ErinErin: Always full of beautiful people. One of my favorite brunch spots (baked eggs, truffle frittata) and excellent for dinner (arancini, kale salad, can't miss crostini).

LacosteLacoste: Where we go for our Nutella calzone fix. Never heard of it? TRY IT. It's also a perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail after work -- just be careful the wax from the giant candles doesn't ruin your drink!
