The warm and inviting decor of this trattoria, complete with hanging lamps, evokes northern Italy. We think Tuscany, La Trattoria, and Little Venice will feed you better, but this place has its devotees.

You'll find well-prepared, reasonably priced specialties, including classic minestrone; three kinds of spaghetti; freshly made pastas, including lasagna, ravioli, and cannelloni; and 18 varieties of 9-inch pizzas. There are also familiar Italian dishes such as Venetian-style liver, veal parmigiana, chicken cacciatore, and beefsteak pizzaiola. Your best bet is one of the freshly made daily specials. There's a limited selection of Italian wines.
