This popular downtown eatery isn’t easy to categorize—it’s a café, bakery, pizzeria, restaurant, and wine bar—but virtually all its offerings fall under the general heading of “Neapolitan delights”: from Italian-themed specialties like pastas and gelati to a wall of photographs that will make you feel as though you’ve just handed off your Vespa to the valet and wandered in from the Via Vicaria Vecchia. Freshly baked breads and frittatas headline the breakfast and lunch menus, but for dinner start with one of the several superb olive oil–drizzled bruschetta options—the Bruschetta di Zia Peppa with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and green olives is particularly tasty—as well as hearty salads like the Zia Clara, which mixes organic iceberg lettuce with avocado, tomato, and crisp bacon, and is topped with creamy Caesar dressing. A wide array of pastas and pizzas are available for those seeking more filling fare, including a delicious Raviola alla Sarda with ricotta-stuffed ravioli and ham-covered marinara sauce, and a truffle oil–scented Bianca pizza layered with Italian sausage, baked potato, provolone cheese, and porcini mushroom sauce. Afterward, a decadent serving of tiramisu and a shot of aromatic espresso are practically mandatory. Gluten-free pasta and pizza options are also available, and a trio of pairing wines can be added to bring an extra level of sophistication to any meal.
