Editorial Review for Gente – by Kathy Squires

The Scene
Under black-and-white blow-ups of film stars like Marilyn Monroe and David Niven, young professionals settle into this film noir-ish spot--more during lunch time than dinner, though the bar attracts an after-work pack blowing off office steam over inexpensive bottles of wine. Service is very efficient and practical.

The Food
The variety of simple, serviceable dishes--sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, salads and more--keeps regulars coming back. The kitchen succeeds in producing elementary yet flavorful fare, like penne rustica minimally adorned with fresh tomatoes, basil and dried ricotta; a surprisingly light and lemony asparagus risotto; warm, pressed roast beef on focaccia; and thinly pounded veal sparingly dressed with piccata sauce. Those in the know look forward to the popular packaged desserts by Bindi, especially the fruit sorbets served in matching rinds.

The food is consistently excellent and I have been a customer for years and years. Jay always takes advantage of seasonal produce and will surprise you with a tasty treat. Super salads, perfect pizza, rapturous risoto.
