Alloro: One look at the vibrant emerald decor (think Kermit the Frog), and you know Alloro is comfortable taking some risks. Get past the streetside construction to this Italian gem from chef/owner Salvatore Corea (Bocca, Cacio e Pepe) and his wife, Gina. From bufala mozzarella with tomato tartar and basil sorbet to lavender-crusted swordfish steak to a variety of fresh pastas (including fried spagetti), the menu offers an interesting take on Italian classics. It's like Mom's home cooking, except you'll have to shell out a good amount of green. |
