Gioco

Fodor's Review:

The name means "game" in Italian, and the restaurant fulfills the promise not with venison, but in the spirit of playing a game. The decor is distressed-urban, with plaster-spattered brick walls and well-worn hardwood floors, but the menu is comfort-Italian, with rustic fare like homemade penne pasta with prosciutto, grilled lamb chops, and sausage with beans. The Speakeasy Room, a private dining space with its own rear-alley entrance, is homage to the building's notorious past under Prohibition.
