La Parolaccia Description:
Casual, charming La-Parolaccia (translation: "the bad language") is a modest Italian eatery---a genuine osteria---serving a neighborhood clientele. A series of three rooms decked out with travel posters, soccer- and Ferrari-oriented collectables and even a Vespa, La-Parolaccia is the kind of place you order an unpretentious carafe of Chianti and begin a meal with fritto misto, carpaccio or an addictive prosciutto- and Parmesan-topped focaccia from the wood-burning oven. That same oven produces authentic thin-crusted pizzas and hefty calzones. Pastas, such as al dente rigatoni with sausage and porcini in a sherry cream sauce, are very reliable and the surprisingly light gnocchetti---we particularly enjoy them bathed in an understated Gorgonzola sauce with peas---are first-rate. Entrées include chicken in a brandy cream sauce and veal scaloppine. Be sure to follow that with any of the homemade tarts or tiramisu.
