This ancient whitewashed restaurant recalls the day when everyone sought out their own Village Italian hideaway, and tried to keep it a secret. The food is straight out of the ´50s, from the iced shrimp cocktail to the baked clams, both commendable, to a less-than-exciting fried calamari with a tomato sauce that will put you to sleep. For a second course, go with the homey pastas like a spaghetti with meat sauce and a doctrinaire lasagna oozing ground meat and cheese, and veer away from the heavier and more expensive meat courses.
