Zuppa Restaurant Description:
Zuppa puts an upscale spin on home-style Italian cooking. Located in the middle of a city block, the eatery offers a stylish lounge flanked by comfortable window-view booths and accented by a modern granite bar serving top-shelf martinis and pours of Italian wines. Hardwood floors, warm earth tones, unfinished curios and country kitchen knick-knacks decorate the dining area. The straightforward dishes taste anything but in the hands of chef David DiBari. This former disciple of Mario Batali has borrowed a few tricks evidenced in his pastas, all made daily on the premises. Dishes like pappardelle with lamb ragù and homemade ravioli showcase how good simple Italian food can taste. If you are feeling more adventurous, the grilled seafood selections, including Mexican grouper, offer a nice change of pace.
