This absolute gem, a neighborhood staple hidden in a mundane-looking strip mall, has been owned and operated by a family from the Italian island of Ponza for 25 years. There is a small outdoor terrace in front flanked by flower, vegetable and herb beds. Voted into the "Top 85 Restaurants" by Stamford magazine, this is a restaurant to try -- go for the risotto or the chicken Milanese, recommended by owner Ester and cooked by her brother Aniello. Corporate catering is available.
