Gerard Craft’s family-oriented Italian restaurant serves up house-made pastas, wood-fired pizzas, and what might just be the best gelato around. The restaurant has an informal “town hall” feel. It doesn’t take reservations.
Vibe: Few other restaurants can please anyone from a toddler to a couple on a blind date.
Dish: If you don’t think less is more, try the chitarra aglio e olio. How can four ingredients do so much?
Insider Tip: From NoWait to curbside pickup, Pastaria has maximized technology to serve 500-plus people a day.
