OLD TOWN ITALY

BEST FOR Business lunches, boozy brunches or slap-up feasts with friends. FOOD The food here is relaxed Italian fare partnered with glorious baked treats and gelato. The broad menu ranges in everything from creamy scrambled eggs with house-cured salmon to Il Bosco Rosso (poached eggs with bacon, hollandaise and avocado). For lunch or early dinner, start with a spectacular deli board of imported cured meats and cheeses. Alternatively, order off the aperitivo-style street-food menu with delicious bites like polenta squares with pecorino cheese or marinated artichokes. Mains include silky pastas made in-house, as well as traditional wood-fired pizzas. Zio’s Pasta with cream, lemon, peas, prosciutto and mushrooms is completely indulgent, as is the to-the-tooth risotto ai funghi with mixed mushrooms and truffle oil. DRINKS Local and Italian beverages. The coffee is delicious. SERVICE Swift and welcoming. AMBIENCE This market, bar and restaurant transports you to a buzzing European delicatessen. (NB)
