Fodor's Expert Review Il Piatto

On a quiet residential street, this laid-back trattoria and espresso house turns out inventive dishes and classic Italian favorites. A tasty sun-dried-tomato pesto spread instead of butter accompanies the bread. Entrées include smoked salmon ravioli in a lemon-cream sauce with capers and leeks. The vegetarian lasagna with grilled eggplant and zucchini, topped with pine nuts, is rich and satisfying. The extensive wine selection focuses on varieties from Tuscany.
