La Famiglia Ristorante’s elegant, refined atmosphere and pricey menu make it one of the more upscale Italian venues in town. The Sena family first opened the restaurant, set in a colonial tea warehouse, in 1976 and have been serving their gourmet Italian cuisine ever since. Recommended dishes include Malfati alla Sena, homemade spinach ricotta dumplings in a creamy eggplant smoked salmon sauce, and Gamberi in Salsa d’ Aragosta, fresh shrimp sautéed with brandy in creamy lobster sauce. After dinner, sample one of LaFamiglia’s wide variety of grappas, try the heavenly tiramisu, or tour their
impressive wine cellar.
