Times Description

At [Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi], a casual Italian with a star-studded clientele, the cherubic Signor Baldi cooks the food of his childhood: a smooth brown puree of borlotti beans festooned with fettuccine, tiny sweet clams and fat white beans, spaghetti in an understated tomato sauce and eggy fresh fettuccine in a musky porcini sauce. The prices are somewhat high for what is basically trattoria fare. I guess you have to pay extra for the tang of the sea half a block away.

    About as unpleasant an experience as you can pay -- a lot -- for. Cramped quarters. Incredibly rude waiters who don't even pretend to aspire to service....

    I had a great time here. The food was great. I love pasta and it doesn't get better than home made.

    always the perfect mix of great food, great service and classic (and not salty) beach atmosphere.
