Score 85/100 · Order: Osso buco · $$
Trattoria Fantastica is unapologetically old-format Italian-American cooking with generous portions and a busy sidewalk patio. It is not innovating, and it does not need to.
Local tip: The patio on India Street is one of the best people-watching seats in Little Italy.
