Fodor's Expert Review L'Hostaria
$$$$
Aspen
Italian
This subterranean hot spot is sophisticated yet rustic, with an open-beam farmhouse ceiling, sleek blonde-wood chairs, contemporary art, and a floor-to-ceiling glass wine "cellar" in the main room. The menu relies on simple, subtle flavors in specialties such as grilled beef tenderloin with a Mediterranean sauce, and traditional pasta dishes like house-made fettuccine Bolognese, spinach pappardelle, and spaghetti topped with Maine lobster.
