The wineglasses sparkle; the table linens are blindingly white. Meticulous housekeeping makes the first good impression at Mezza Luna, a sophisticated room with sunflower-yellow walls and a blue ceiling suggesting an evening sky. Then, dinner makes the lasting one. Exceptional baby clams, tiny and tender, steamed with white wine and garlic, are a must on their own or with spaghetti. Ricotta gnocchi in gorgonzola cream sauce are positively ethereal. And don’t forget the vitello “Champagne,” surrounded with artichokes, wild mushrooms and a champagne cream sauce, with a side of green beans and a delightful fried potato croquette.
