Zucchero Ristorante Bistro

When Brazilian Oliveira opens an Italian restaurant, only good things happen. This time around, we have a breezy outdoor patio, a minimalist/modern bar entrance, and an open dining room, with a grey stone wall surrounding an open kitchen that spans an entire wall. Food is decidedly authentic Italian (i.e. the incredible insalata alla cesare actually sports anchovies) but with sexy Brazilian twists (i.e. salmone alla mostarda). You have to try the kobe pizza or anything out of the wood burning oven, rather, and finish with the flourless chocolate cake.
