Description:
This longtime favorite, opened in 1856 and now run by the Mazzarella and Boni families, celebrates the Jerusalem artichoke (which is not really an artichoke at all, by the way) by incorporating it into a number of recipes. The advice and suggestions put forth by the uniformed crew of hardworking waiters are worth considering. You might begin with aromatic fritto misto vegetariano (artichokes, cheese-and-rice croquettes, mozzarella, and stuffed squash blossoms) before moving on to a fish filet, veal, succulent beans, or a pasta creation. Many of the foods are fried or deep-fried but emerge flaky and dry, not at all greasy.
