al di la' Trattoria
Opened by Chef Anna Klinger and her husband Emiliano Coppa, this perpetually mobbed Italian Trattoria is its own little love story. The couple met while traveling in Italy, bringing back a piece of their romantic Venetian experience with them. The menu focuses on the cuisine of Northern Italy, with an emphasis on classic recipes and local produce. Waits here on a typical night can often be over an hour, so come early if you want to grab a seat.
