Giulia.  Of course.  It’s a small place, on Mass. Ave., just outside of Harvard Square, with an extremely well-defined menu.  About a half dozen little plates, like cicchetti, about a half dozen fatto in casa pasta, and about a half dozen main plates.

A little plate of a hamachi collar.  Pesto of ramps on a flat bread.  Grilled sardines. Bignoli with pancetta.  Halibut.  And what can you say about a restaurant that offers a $4 dessert of a stack of biscotti?

Littles plates: $5 each.  Pastas: Between $17-19.  Main plates: Twenties.

The music is all jazz and blues.  The wait staff is focused, thoughtful, and pleasant.  The room is perfectly lit.
