After being open for a few years, Frasca has emerged as that rare hotel restaurant that stands on its own for being so good, and attracts people from all over the city for its casual Italian food. The main attraction here are the fresh pastas, all made in-house, from pappardelle to more involved types like macaroni (they have an extruder in the kitchen), and the simple but delicious sauces and ragus that come on top. Second highlight are the pinsa, which fall somewhere between a focaccia and a pizza. Prices are reasonable, service is good, and location can't be beat -- right in the heart of the city.
