A-16

$$, Italian, The Marina

User Rating: **** 4.4

Fodor's Review:

Marina residents -- and, judging from the crowds, everybody else -- gravitate to this lively trattoria, named for the autostrada that winds through Italy's sunny south. The kitchen serves the food of Naples and surrounding Campania, such as mozzarella burrata with olive oil and crostini, and crisp-crusted pizzas, including a classic Neapolitan Margherita (mozzarella, tomato, and basil). Among the regularly changing mains are pork loin with radicchio and hazelnuts and house-made lamb sausage. A big wine list of southern Italian and Californian wines suits the fare perfectly. The long space includes an animated bar scene near the door; ask for a table in the quieter alcove at the far end. Reservations are easier to snag midweek.

great food not matched by the atmosphere; nice buzz to the place but had to keep back door and roof window open to keep the ventilation acceptable; this makes for a pretty cool place if you're sitting in the rear of the restaurant. Seems like a strange requirement for a restaurant with top notch food and good service.
