Bina Osteria Description:
BiNA is a combination osteria-alimentari. The restaurant attracts wealthy businesspeople and out-of-town types (it's located within The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton Towers, Boston Common), while the alimentari strives to offer gourmet delicacies---fine olive oils, gourmet cheeses, breads, pastries and wine---to a rather underserved neighborhood, known more for takeout joints than upscale grocers. The restaurant is a stark, airy space with muted brown walls and soaring windows, with cooking that stands in bold contrast to the cold décor: house-made pancetta with a slow-cooked hen egg is downright soul-warming; quail in "hay" with seared foie gras is just like mom used to make (if only mom were a gourmet cook). There's also a small plates menu. The wine list boasts treasures like Jacques Selosse's "Substance" and Damijan "Bianco Kaplja"; meanwhile, the well-edited dessert menu reveals a killer almond cake and an extensive array of apéritifs. Service is helpful and deferential; the bar scene is lively, especially on weeknight evenings.
