Fodor's Expert Review Ristorante La Cucina

This excellent Italian restaurant has two faces: on the one hand, it's a great spot for simple pizzas and pastas; on the other, the menu offers much more sophisticated creations for connoisseurs of serious cuisine d'auteur. The pizzas and the pastas are perfectly delicious, but do check out the other offerings. The permanent (albeit seasonally changing) menu includes some intriguing compositions with rich and sophisticated flavors, such as fallow deer carpaccio with roasted artichokes and horseradish; beetroot and cider soup with pomegranate; or guinea fowl breast in Marsala wine. In addition, a blackboard offers a long list of daily or weekly specials, all of which are worth your consideration. Do try to leave room for dessert; the chef makes excellent homemade cakes and ice creams.
