From the OpenTable editors: Osteria Savio Volpe proves simple isn’t boring. The rustic menu leans into Italy’s best, with housemade pasta, fire-grilled meats and peak-season produce served in a buzzy, stylish space. Dishes like crisp arancini and rich tagliatelle alla bolognese showcase the kitchen’s unfussy, big-hearted cooking. The drinks keep up with easygoing cocktails and a stellar by-the-glass wine lineup.
