The number of fine dining restaurants on the west side of the city has been limited in recent years due to a migration to East State Street, but here is a find for folks in the "old neighborhood." This cozy restaurant on Auburn Street offers fine Italian food and a charming fireplace to set the mood. Drinks are reasonably price, and there is a small bar area. The wait staff aims to please, but are a little weak in skills. The food is very good quality, with excellent salads (try the spinach and beets) and desserts (tiramisu is great). A good alternative to the chains or pizza joints!
