It bears repeating that Chef/owner Craig Richards' Lyla Lila is a good find. Sharing a contemporary design with a darker, moody color palette, the focus is on southern Europe with pasta as a focal point. They're a must, with house house staples like the crispy duck lasagna with a cocoa béchamel as well as seasonal dishes like the ricotta-miso gnocchetti. They're also available in appetizer portions, though their starters deserve equal billing. Don't fill up too much, as there's roast chicken, veal Milanese or snapper topped with pistachio pesto to be had. End on a sweet note with chocolate orange mousse cake or an ice cream sandwich with cherry gelato, "magic shell" and pizzelle cookies.
