Fodor's Expert Review L'Antica Roma

More than 40 versions of pizza baked in a wood-burning oven are the main event at this popular upscale Italian eatery. Every pizza comes with a trio of condiments to spice it up to your taste: homemade hot chili or a garlicky sauce, and grated cheese. Framed black-and-white photos of famous Italians eating spaghetti may inspire you to try one of the decent homemade pastas. There's also an exhaustive menu of meat and chicken cooked Italian style—juicy beef tenderloin substitutes for veal in all the classic Italian veal dishes. Italian wine can be ordered by the glass, carafe, or bottle. Two large-screen TVs with sports add to the happy buzz indoors on busy nights; the tables out on the wrought-iron-enclosed patio lend themselves better to conversation, once rush-hour traffic has subsided.
