Frommer's Review
The name of this restaurant translates as "The Return," and it's the not-very-humble, yet arguably deserved, announcement of chef and owner Tony D'Alaimo's comeback after leaving the long-standing and popular Il Ponte Vecchio and Costa Rica for several years. The menu features a wide selection of antipasti, pastas, main dishes, and thin-crust wood-oven baked pizzas. I like the vitello il ritorno, delicate cuts of veal in a cognac-based sauce. Service is semiformal and attentive. There are a few specials each evening, and Tony's mother's recipe for fresh ravioli in a cream sauce flavored with nutmeg is usually available.
