Just go. This crew from Italy makes the most divine wood-oven pizza, plus a full menu of authentic Italian-influenced food. The tapas bar is also terrific, if you just want small bites and great drinks. And there's a bakery next door that makes incredible bread & pastries.

Our local coffee place, which happens to have gluten-free crepes that are to-die-for. Plus tons of gluten-y treats like fresh-baked french pastries, if sweets are more your thing. Great to sit in the sunny window and watch the neighborhood go by.
