Cafe Mediterraneo

This tavern and trattoria is managed by French-born Bruno Deluche and Tony Crescente, who also own two other restaurants on the island. The result is southern European service and cuisine tucked into a modern shopping center. The decor includes a mock version of a garden in Naples, banquettes patterned after grottos, and murals showing the highlights of both Monte Carlo and Capri. It's all very tongue-in-cheek, but despite a whiff of corniness, the food is well prepared and flavorful, and the place is rightfully popular, especially with families, who are drawn to its pizzas and pastas. Expect a menu with six kinds of pizza; a long list of pastas and risottos, including an excellent version of spaghetti with shrimp and lobster in a Parmesan cream-and-pesto sauce; and medallion of lobster tail in a creamy cognac sauce. On Thursday nights from 9 to 10pm, you can take a free salsa lesson and enjoy the open dance floor. On Sunday, check out the Big Kahuna comedy show. The revamped Sunday brunch buffet features omelets made right in front of you, as well as salads, chicken, and pastas.
