The wide-open space sparkles with ornate paintings and furniture, and lattice window covers dignify the interior with a feeling of exclusivity and separation from the outside bustle. Couscous and lentils with shrimp tease out a surprisingly full flavor without the heaviness of beef or lamb tainting palate and wallet.

Italian-Americans, hipsters, and just about everyone else stops in for shots of espresso in the morning and then again later in the day for Italian ice creams. On Saturdays, Grasso Roberto serves one of the best brunches in town: fresh Italian pastries, eggs, sausages, fruit, potatoes, and a signature pasta dish with basil and ricotta cheese.

The wide variety of Italian dishes and diner-type offerings ensures that you'll find what you want for a good price. And a word or two to the wise: Don't go without enjoying the daily drink specials, and if you're a late diner, know that they have half-off prices on select foods every night from 11pm till midnight.
