Have a true Italian feast in a relaxed atmosphere. Each dish here is prepared and presented according to old, Italian tradition and is cooked to order. The antipasti are scrumptious. Try the delicious baked bread-crumb-stuffed mushroom caps; they're firm yet tender. The stuffed eggplant with ricotta and roasted peppers is light and flavorful. Or have the seafood salad of shrimp, calamari, and mussels, fish-market fresh and tasty. The pasta dishes here are also great. Try the penne Venezia, with mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and crabmeat, or the cannelloni stuffed with veal and spinach. For dessert, don't skip the homemade tiramisu; it's light yet full-flavored. The dining room is spacious but still intimate, and the waiters are friendly and informative. Before you leave, be sure to visit Virgilio's, the restaurant's very own cocktail lounge with live jazz until 2am.

Pasta $10-$17; main courses $17-$22. Open: Daily 5:30-11pm. Credit Cards: AE, DC, DISC, MC, V.
