LA VILLETTA – Italian
Behind an ordinary North Federal Highway storefront sits a room that surprises people - warm, quietly formal, and run for more than two decades by chef Maria Costanza, who trained in Caserta. The cooking is old-world Italian with a light contemporary hand: costoletta alla capricciosa, a breaded veal chop under marinated vine-ripe tomatoes, arugula, radicchio and endive; penne alla Villetta in a pink cream sauce; whole fish baked in sea salt and deboned tableside. Diners talk about the attentiveness as much as the pasta. Not cheap. Rarely regretted.
