Fior D`Italia has the (perhaps dubious) distinction of being "the oldest Italian restaurant in America." The front room is all white tablecloths, tuxedos, and mirrors; the back room is a little more relaxed, with a warm wood floor and intimate seating. The menus offer fresh pasta, several veal dishes (the osso buco is a favorite), and some good fish selections.
