Fiorino, Italian Street Food

Fiorino, Italian Street Food is a welcoming spot with just a hint of nostalgia (spy the framed photos and art). Giovanni "Gio" Mascagni presides over this serious Italian place where the bread-making skills he learned in Tuscany are on full display. At lunch, focaccia sandwiches and schiacciata, like the one stuffed with guanciale, drizzled with honey and spread with walnut crema, are the hot ticket. At dinner, it's all about pasta. Spaghettoni ai frutti di mare is a classic Italian seaside dish brimming with clams, mussels and prawns in a perfectly spicy arrabbiata sauce. Each strand is heady with flavor; the clams are tender; the mussels are meaty; and the tomato-based sauce is equal parts sweet, spicy and tart.
