Bistro Bella Vita

The Beef Brisket Bourguignon ($36) is the draw here, slow-braised and saucy in a way that earns comparison to the best pot roast you've had. The brick oven turns out Margherita pizzas that reviewers stack up against Naples. Busy on Tuesday nights, but the patio seats walk-ins when the weather cooperates.
