Tortellino d’Oro
The name translates to golden pasta shaped like a belly button—a reference to owner Dante’s memories of growing up eating real Italian food that only his mother could make. Upon stepping inside, a real sense of old-world charm comes over you.
Why go?
This small, unpretentious restaurant and deli has legendary food, especially the pasta.
