Biscottis

Frommer's Review

This brick-walled gem in the trendy Avondale neighborhood might easily have come out of New York's East Village. Start your day here (except on Mon) with a pastry and cup of joe. At lunch and dinner, daily specials such as pan-seared tuna or pork loin are always fresh and beautifully presented. The huge and inventive salads are especially good: Try the Asian version with chicken breast, orange slices, roasted peppers, and creamy sesame dressing. Pizzas, too, are served with wonderfully exotic and delicious toppings -- ever try guacamole and black beans on your slice? And by all means, don't leave without sampling the wonderful desserts. On warm days, choose a tiny sidewalk table for great people-watching. Note: If the wait's too long here, other choices line these 2 blocks of St. Johns Avenue, ranging from a neighborhood diner to expensive haute cuisine.
