In a bite: A casual Italian feel flows through this charming trattoria. Three separate dining areas (one with a fireplace) allow for total comfort. Paper over cloth on the tables and table candles add to the pleasing atmosphere. Service is quite good. The short wine list is fairly priced, and there are ample choices of wines by the glass. Good for children. The lunch menu offers a number of hot and cold panini along with pasta and meat dishes pulled from the dinner menu. Reservations accepted.
