"This elegant restaurant close to the French Market leans to the north of the boot, thanks to the talents of Verona, Italy-born and raised chef Samantha Castagnetti. Don’t resist the veal meatball in red sauce with red sauce, tender and perfectly spiced. The penne ala vodka is spiked with local crabmeat and linguine is tossed with a bright pesto sauce larded with shrimp." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
