Chef Gaetano Di Benedetto, born and trained in Sicily, has created a menu of authentic regional Italian fare including hand-cut and baked pasta dishes and fresh meat and fish entrees. The casual, piazza-like setting, featuring trompe l'oeil murals, is great for dates or family gatherings. And children can make their own pizzas. Stroll downstairs to the Jazz club and enjoy live music Wednesday through Saturday.

La Piazza is closed. Stay tuned for details on a new spot opening from Chef Gaetano Di Benedetto.
