Editor's Dining Notes & Tips

“If you're anything like me, you'll order the Lasagna Fritta before even looking at the main menu. It's the ultimate comfort food starter, but I always tell myself I'll share it (and then end up eating most of it anyway). The toasted ravioli is a close second if you want something easier to share.”
