"We love food. We love wine. We love racing." So declares the website of Ascari Enoteca, named after 1950s racing legend Alberto Ascari. Pasta is made fresh in house every single day and the menu changes both seasonally and locally. There is a nice variety of red and white wines by the bottle or the glass, but you can also pamper yourself with a flight and have 2oz pours of some fine selections. Small bites are simple but executed beautifully, such as skewers of lamb with lemon zest and Maldon salt. The pasta sauces complement the fresh noodles, with ingredients ranging from smoked cod to zucchini flowers adorning the plate. Flawless food in reasonable portions; this is a neighborhood restaurant that shines.

- Italian: "Visit every second Monday of the month for Wine Killas. Half-priced bottles of wine combined with a DJ spinning hip hop makes for a very good start to the week."
- Best for Italian Because: Small and intimate, with memorable menu items by a staff who loves food.
