Alla Vita
Family-style Italian on the east end of the row.

Why it is on the list
Alla Vita holds the east end of the row with family-style Italian: antipasti, pasta in a bowl meant for the table, a chicken or fish if you are four people who actually like each other. Less scene than Siena, less shrine than Elske. Useful when you want Italian and a reservation that does not require a strategy. Split the pasta. Order dessert. Leave like you ate in someone’s house, not a concept.
