Try the "Chicken Tawook" for lunch. Can't beat $4 takeout, and the food is excellent.

Abbraccio by ckingsle

Abbraccio's reputation took a hit on account of its hit-or-miss entres, this first year of operation... the proprietor, Roger Harman, has since come through in a big way.

But the way to enjoy this spacious, easy-going place is still through its appetizers. A pitcher of lager and "antipasti for two" is as good as dinner, and if you tip the (generally gracious) staff extremely well, you still won't break $25. This time of year, you can park yourself on the wrap-around porch and glean some gardening tips from the community plot across the way.

All in all, I love this place for its lo-fi class, and I'll be there after I practice my wedding vows on August 31st. :)
