Italian in spirit, but far from a red sauce slinging checkered tablecloth joint, Patricia's is convivial and  elegant, with high ceilings featuring exposed brick walls and a semi-open kitchen. The cocktails selection is interesting, and the succinct wine list is carefully chosen with some unexpected (and fun!) Italian varietals.
That brick oven churns out pleasing pizzas with lightly charred crusts, like the Regina simply adorned with buffalo mozzarella, torn basil and a drizzle of excellent olive oil. Calamari fritti are light and crispy without a touch of grease, but don’t miss the flaky and gently poached baccalà salad. Seafood risotto is creamy-dreamy with plenty of tender mussels, clams, shrimp and squid.
