Italian Pie

This airy Uptown room is split into two by a pair of huge columns, which are further offset by a border of plants and well-placed, slightly higher tables that add to a sense of bustle. Classic staples such as pizza and spaghetti and meatballs generally fare better than higher-bracket gourmet items. Highlights are the combination pizza (all the basics) or the self-explanatory Italian "all meat pie." The meatball calzones is a sturdy, if intimidating, choice. Garlic bread is a standout in any form: appetizer, side item or meal unto itself.
