Fascino

The storefront restaurant borrows its name from the Italian, and it lives up to its definition on a nightly basis. There is a certain charm, glamour and fascination, with its saffron-colored walls, minimalist decor and cosmopolitan menu. Pastas are made in-house, and the pappardelle with braised beef, caramelized onions and shredded Gorgonzola just about nears perfection. A chef's tasting menu allows patrons to sample the chef's handiwork, which is positively fascino.
