Food Scene

The BEST Italian chef in the city. My buddy Benny(who has been honored by Italy as an authentic Italian Chef, he has many awards) , is the chef at this tiny place...and the food is to die for. Try the lamb, a secret menu item. You wont be sorry! It's a little pricey, but well worth it. May be closed in the month of August so call ahead. Not a bad idea to make reservations as seating is limited. If you are looking for Italian pizza and something a little more casual, try their sister restaurant next door, Azzurri Pizzeria, owned by Benny's children.
