Liuzza's Restaurant & Bar

The single dining room is simple and always busy as nimble servers float through narrow spaces and treat every customer like a regular. The family-run institution boasts an adjoining "old guy" barroom, drinks served in hefty schooners, and a brisk trade in pasta dishes and seafood specialties--just about anything that can be covered in red gravy. Most appetizers are deep-fried--artichoke hearts, pickles and onions, and the house-specialty fried green tomatoes. Liuzza's also lays claim to its own variation of the muffuletta, the "Frenchuletta," served on French bread.
