Falora is a perfect little pizza place -- wood fired oven from Naples, very well balanced salads, and creative pies. They have a good wine selection, great music (on vinyl!), and comfy mid-century modern style. You can able next door to the owner Ari's cocktail bar Sidecar as well, or get a cashew ice cream at Cashew Cow for dessert.
