Radda Trattoria

Just what the metro area needed: another “rustic Italian” restaurant. Fortunately, Radda does not disappoint in price or palate. The pasta’s handmade and the food locally sourced where possible, and the affluent clientele is surprisingly approachable. It’s a modest room, but you’ll forget its mini-mall chops when carried away in glasses of carefully selected wine and hand-crafted country food to match. Must-tries include the house sausage and balsamic cheesecake.
