Our take: Cozy corner of Italian soul: Raffi’s Locale is where pasta dreams come true. Bring a robust red and prepare for carb-loaded bliss in Belmont Heights.
Wine Pairing: For rustic Italian, try a Chianti Classico or a Barbera d'Alba. White wine lovers should bring a crisp Vermentino or a complex Soave.
Beer Pairing: An Italian-style Pilsner like Birra Ichnusa pairs beautifully. For a craft option, try a Farmhouse Ale to complement rustic flavors.
Spirits Pairing: Amaro is perfect for Italian meals. Bring a bottle of Fernet-Branca or Montenegro for authentic after-dinner sipping.
