Alimento

Set amidst fashionable shops and eateries in a hipster neighborhood, this Italian-influenced restaurant's modern house with a much-talked-about terrace doubles as a headquarters for area denizens. The young, stylish staff is highly dedicated to delivering a pleasant experience without putting on any airs.

The menu is equally unpretentious, with a nice selection of not-so-small plates along with dishes designed for sharing. It's all about clean flavors and simple preparations here, with delicious braised lettuce bruschetta and smoked yellowtail collar. Pastas are rave-worthy; the salumi agnolotti dazzles with its smoky and salty flavors.

Wines from small producers in France and Italy, as well as organic and biodynamic labels, show attention to detail.
