1. Melfi’s
North Central
Sleek, warm, and with a clam pizza and pastas to warm your soul, Melfi’s is a perfect cold weather spot when you want a spot-on cocktail before a decadent Italian dinner. The Roma-styled pizza has a thin crispy crust, the vibe is cool and clubby, and there’s complimentary parking daily in the lot adjacent to the restaurant on Race Street after 5 p.m. And if you’re more of a meat eater than pasta twirler, their new bone-in 14-ounce pork chop drizzled with an apricot mostarda just might have your name on it.
