The Lowdown
Real Italian food, North and South, in a real, modern-trattoria atmosphere, and only a few blocks from the Kendall Cinema. When one of those romantic Italian movies comes through, you'll know what to do, but even without that, you could make a fine evening of the fennel-orange salad, the spaghetti alla chitarra, or veal chop with wild mushroom risotto, and an excellent tiramisu -- not an oxymoron here. Small but pretty room worth the contribution of dressing up a little yourself.
