I used to work in commercial productions, and had a lot of crew visiting from Europe. When they wanted to go to an Italian restaurant, I'd take them to Farfalla's. There are a lot of good but expensive Italian restaurants, such as Madeo, Celestino, and others, but Farfalla is the kind of restaurant that reminds you of a small neighborhood restaurant in an Italian town you happen to come across - and ""wow, what a good find"" you'd think (and then keep going back afterwards.) I wouldn't say it's cheap but for the quality, it's a bargain. The food is consistently good. One less star because it's always full. You'd better make a reservation if you want to be seated right away.
