illing itself as an Italian steakhouse, this location is about as sexy as a GAP store, and it lures the same crowd. Pizzaiolo, taking over the space from Avalon, has traded the former tenant's minimalist look and feel for a flickering candle flame, faux Italian vibe.

For the menu, the chef has gone Mafia, offering selections like the Capone (Chicken Breast, Roasted Red Peppers, Mushrooms, Parmigiano), the Vittoria (Herbed Tomatoes, Zucchini, Roasted Red Peppers), the Soprano (Sopressata, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Gorgonzola Cheese), The Godfather (a deep dish pizza with bacon, Italian sausage, pepperoni), and the Sicilian (real bacon, Italian sausage). Beware of khaki wearing horse heads. -D.E.
