Good neighborhood eateries are fun to find. This open-air corner spot is a nice surprise and worth the hunt. Oscar Huerta has worked with Italian food for 15 years. He and his wife, Paola, decided to open their own restaurant one year ago. Because every dish is prepared fresh, the menu is written on a board with the specials of the day. They may include carpaccio, bruschetta, minestrone, pizzas, or stuffed Portobello mushroom. We enjoyed a selection that included a tender octopus in red wine and chicken in a cream-cheese-and-wine sauce. A package such as this would average about $27 U.S., while the average entrée is about $18 U.S. Our delicious smorgasbord ended with a refreshing clericot (fruit wine with chopped fruit).
