Grab a spot at the 14-seat bar or huddle around the high-top tables at this Taylor Street hangout. There, you can nibble on traditional Italian apps such as bruschetta and baked clams paired with a glass of vino or a well-crafted martini. For a taste of owner Jay Emerich's history in the city's dining and nightlife scene, just look to the walls for framed photos of his businesses over the years.
Looking for a more traditional Taylor Street experience? Head to the back dining room, where the tables are covered with white tablecloths and hefty plates of pasta and traditional chicken dishes from parmesan to Vesuvio ring in, for the most part, under $16.
