Arossa

Find solid (but not staid) plates at this Japanese-Italian restaurant (formerly La Luna Rossa) specializing in grills and pastas. Dishes range from simple mentaiko spaghettini and mustard cream penne to more elaborate items like roasted Magret duck breast with espresso and mascarpone. Desserts are comforting Italian favorites like tiramisu and gelato, and there’s a decent sized wine list to go with the meal.
