On the periphery of hyper-trendy Little Italy, Pony is nevertheless the kind of place where you can relax. The candlelit dining room is charming, the upholstered chairs are comfy, and the service is smooth. The menu sticks mainly to bistro classics, such as roasted chicken stuffed with prosciutto, smoked mozzarella, and apple slices. The Caesar salad has the creamiest dressing in town -- even a devoted calorie-counter won't be able to resist.
