Al Di La

This Northern Italian trattoria in Avondale delivers exquisite renditions of gnocchi and ­risotto, sublime small bites, tender cuts of meat, and more in a cozy and romantic setting. In addition to the restaurant’s diverse menu, the attached bar serves up delicious piccoli piatti (small plates), crisp wood-fired pizza, and an awesome array of Italian meats and cheeses. If the weather’s nice, take your glass of grappa outside to a garden table, survey the stars, and dream of Florence.
