This city-center favorite has an elegant interior, with vivid glass doors overlooking busy piazza Dante. The greenery-lined outdoor patio, complete with retractable roof, is popular in the summer, though you may be more appreciative of the air-conditioning inside. The key ingredients here are fresh fish, high-quality cuts of meat, fine cheeses, and flavorful tomatoes. Try cheese scarpariello or veal escallope. Any dish prepared "53-style" is a house specialty and is sure to satisfy your taste for authentic Italian. Reservations recommended; business casual dress.
