10BEST Says

Italian: With a sleek interior featuring monochromatic tones, all of your attention will go straight to the northern Italian cuisine which is where your mind should be. The venue is committed to serving only fresh ingredients like daily housemade pastas, local grown produce and farm-raised proteins. You might not be able to pronounce much on the menu but your stomach will thank you for trying the ipoglosso (Alaskan halibut), chitarra integrali (whole wheat square spaghetti) and controfiletto (prime New York strip loin). Don't leave without tasting a selection off their 25-page wine list and sinfully delicious dessert menu. METRO: Metro Center.
