This "Cal-Ital" spot in the Wyndham Hotel gleefully mixes Italian and California ingredients and styles on a concise menu that includes brick-oven pizzas and entrees such as filet mignon, roasted chicken and hazelnut-crusted sea bass with Frangelico buerre blanc. An open kitchen awash in copper and wood claims an entire corner of the dining room; the area sizzles and smokes while the dining room hums with conversation. A secluded room across from the kitchen serves as a wine room and private event space (a large wine table seats up to 20). In the bar, flat-screen TVs keep folks connected to the sports scene.
