Woodlot

Simple, honest and handmade is not a bad thing to aim for in any diet, especially when the night may take a romantic turn. Woodlot adheres to a "simple is best" philosophy and after tasting their dishes composed of high quality ingredients, you may have to agree. Situated in the heart of Little Italy, Woodlot cooks filling dishes without overloading them with unnecessary ingredients. Their bread is worth the visit alone, with 7 varieties of sourdough, organic, wood-fired and warm. Woodlot doesn't shy away from fat, with flat iron steak topped with corn butter. However, fat is used as an accent rather than the star of the show. (There is a fully vegetarian menu for those that would prefer an entree along the lines of a pan roasted oyster mushroom.) Moderate eating at its finest. Nothing sexier than that.
