Nana's Restaurant Description:
After almost 20 years in business, Nana's has become an iconic restaurant in an area that has attracted more than its share of top culinary talent. Owner-chef Scott Howell's unerring instinct for combining Mediterranean flavors with those of his native North Carolina proves itself time and time again, in dishes such as potato gnocchi in a bolognese sauce served alongside roasted cipollini finished with truffle butter, or seared striped bass over wild boar agnolotti in a sea urchin broth, smoked duck leg ragoût with gnocchi, or grilled pork loin over creamy polenta. The chef's signature risotto is always a good choice whether served with sweet corn, lobster mushrooms and coastal white shrimp or with braised veal breast, Swiss chard and butternut squash. The first-class feasting doesn't stop at dessert. Folks have been known to drive all the way from Virginia just for chef Howell's crème brûlée. Italian wines lead the list, which nonetheless goes on to offer a substantial range of global selections. The dining room boasts Italian chandeliers lighting brightly colored walls adorned with local artist Jane Tyndall's exuberant paintings. Just one caveat: If you're hoping for quiet conversation, avoid the closely spaced banquettes along the wall.
