La Romantica

One of the city's most delightful dining experiences is in what used to be the stables of a 17th-century merchant's house. In a bright, fashionable space, the well-trained chefs dazzle your palate with one taste sensation after another. Here is a chance to dine on several rare regional recipes, including pumpkin/squash ravioli in a tomato-cream sauce (cappellacci di zucca), given added flavor by walnuts and Parmesan cheese. Seafood is another specialty, with salmon, salt cod, and dishes such as baked grouper in potato crust on the menu.
