Osteria Via Stato

The masterminds behind TRU have done it again, but this time think Italian shared plates for a nice price. Servers will steer you toward the “Italian dinner party,” but remember that anything can be ordered à la carte. For the fixed price, seasonal tastes arrive in waves and you choose only your entrée. Marinated olives in herbed oil with warm focaccia are followed by antipasti like veal meatballs. Hearty pastas rotate, but may include a tasty bolognese pappardelle. Skip the wine list and try the creative “Just Bring Me Wine” pairings.
