Villa Castelli
Villa Castelli opened just a month ago, so it's our favorite little known gem. Given the quality of the food and amazing service, it's bound to be one of the most popular spots in the months to come. Live music is lovely in the evenings - this is the perfect spot to impress your date or hold a business meeting. Start with some oysters and baby octopus and retire with the oxtail ravioli or the Branzino (they de-bone it in front of you). Whatever you eat make sure to save room for their tiramisu, which is the best we've had in the entire country and probably world. It's the perfect ratio of sponge and cream. During Villa Castelli's opening days, a very famous pastry chef walked in and ate the tiramisu for dessert and wouldn't leave until they shared the recipe.
