"This long-standing Italian restaurant is on the outskirts of town, and has one of the best outdoor settings around, with vineyard views and a dramatic fountain that sits at the center of it all. Beyond the scenery, the real reason we’ve been coming here for years is the food: every dish is a home run, especially the homemade pastas (get the rigatoni bolognese), all of the pizzas, and caesar salad. This place is always packed, so it’s best to book ahead or plan on hanging out at the bar while you wait." - christina julian, jasmine alexandra
