Fodor's Expert Review Il Giardino
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Northern Italian–inspired cooking, in the form of tasty risotto, homemade pasta, and excellent salads is on offer at this popular garden spot. The best feature of this restaurant is its waterfront location, where you can sit on the terrace and take advantage of the views and fresh breezes off the gulf. Fresh fish rounds out the menu, as well as barbecued meats. Sadly, wood-fired pizzas are not the restaurant's forte, and service can be painfully slow.
