Bartolino's on the Hill is my favorite destination for great Itilian food and a good martini. It is a smaller restaurant with limited seating so reservations are a must especially on a weekend. I have seen large parties at the restaurant - but with limited space it may be difficult to get a table. A party of 6 is easily accomodated. I highly recommend their steaks and a cosmopolitian martini.
Being located on the Hill adds the already great ambiance!
I drive from Illinois at least 5 times a year to go to Bartolino's!
Pros: parking in back, appropriately priced, great drinks/bar
