Tre Scalini
Profile
With all the charm of a mirrored-and-paneled finished basement, Tre Scalini will never wow anyone with its decor. With the first or second course, though, first-timers realize that the delicate gnocchi and other homemade pastas of chef-owner Franca Di Renzo are the focus, along with the familial warmth of her daughter, Francesca, and husband, Alberto. You’d expect to find no-frills peasant dishes like broccoli rabe over grilled polenta in this unassuming rowhouse devoted to south-central Italian cuisine, but there are plenty of others with uptown flair: quail with sage and garlic; squid-ink pasta with shrimp; a huge veal chop with shiitake mushroom sauce.
