Brilliant Southern Italian cuisine in a love-it-or-loathe-it glass box of a restaurant characterize the scene at L'Anima. Chef Francesco Mazzei draws inspiration from Sicily, Sardinia, and Calabria, and works the floor, bar, and clear-fronted kitchen like the proud owner that he is. Simple, modern dishes like wild mushroom and black truffle tagliolini are near perfection, as is the baked sea bass—as succulent as you could wish. Dessert puddings, like peach and Amaretto, are belissimo, and the wines are mainly Italian.
