Fodor's Expert Review Izi Ristorante Italiano

The award-winning former chef and owner of La Gondola serves up shareable portions of more than 400 dishes in this popular, cheerful, centrally located space. For something fun, diners are invited to create their own menu: pick a pasta and sauce, then add your choice of meat, fish, and veggies. Pay particular attention to the specials; the chef creates something extraordinary every night. They have a highly impressive wine collection. Celebrations—birthdays, anniversaries, etc.—are extra fun.
