 GEPPETTO'S
The word "renaissance" is written in lower case as an adjective, which implies vigor, renewal, rebirth, and is decidedly not referring to the kind of food that was served during 14th to 16th century -- to which I say, thank you.
Though it is casual and laid-back, Geppetto's is running with some of the big-guy Italian restaurants in the city (but at prices that are substantially lower).
The baked cavatelli may not be quite up to the standard set by Rosebud restaurants, but it was quite good, the chewy little dumplings graced with a flavorful marinara sauce, fresh basil and a wealth of cheeses (Parmesan and Asiago are two of them).

Geppetto would become as wild as a beast, and nothing and no one could soothe him, which sounds like it would be funny, but it wasn't.
