There's food that that tastes good and then there food that both tastes and looks good, and Notti Bianche always strives for both. The menu at this fine dining establishment is inspired by the flavors of Italy, which means you'll find the kitchen sending out dishes like veal tagliatelle with wild mushrooms and ricotta-filled ravioli drizzled with pomodoro sauce in addition to fresh caprese salads and garlic-rubbed bruschetta.

No matter what you order at Notti Bianche, however, you can count on it arriving at your table exquisitely arranged with colorful garnishes that make it seem like an edible work of art. Notti Bianche also offers an early-bird prix fixe meal before 7 p.m., which always includes some of the restaurant's most popular pasta dishes and other specialties. The prix fixe menu isn't just a great value, it's also the perfect meal to enjoy before heading off to the theatre, symphony, or a gallery opening nearby.
