A rustic decor composed of brick, aged woodwork, and wrought iron adds a certain charm to this casual establishment. The menu has a Mediterranean sensibility, although it pulls influences from California and Asia as well. Wood-fired pizzas are extremely popular, crowned with exotic ingredients and flavorful sauces. You'll also find chicken breasts dressed with savory toppings and a wonderful vegetable lasagna. The open kitchen provides a glimpse of the preparation and fills the air with the aroma of pizza baking. If the weather's good, the outdoor patio is a delightful place to dine, adding an extra note of authenticity to the Mediterranean cuisine.

Perennially popular for lunch, this charming restaurant sits below street level in an intimate space. It surrounds diners with good cheer and boasts a menu of Californian and Mediterranean fare. Salads include the Greek-inspired Escoba, which includes feta cheese, eggplant, and roasted red peppers, and the Asian-tinged Shutome, which features swordfish, fresh spinach, and ginger-sesame noodles. Pastas come studded with fresh vegetables and seafood and an array of savory sauces. Theme pizzas also make an appearance, topped with gourmet ingredients. If you happen to go for dinner, additional entrees are available, including beef tenderloin, grilled chicken, and swordfish. If you just want a snack, make sure to try the celebrated baked camembert, and accompany it with one of their many by-the-glass wines.
