Spotlight on: Davanti Enoteca

With more than a dozen bistros, osterias and trattorias, Little Italy’s India Street certainly didn’t need another Italian restaurant. So what was James Beard Restaurateur of the Year semi-finalist Scott Harris thinking—that he could just sweep in from Chicago, set up shop in the middle of all this competition and have a hit on his hands? Against the odds, that’s just what happened with Davanti Enoteca. Early buzz indicates the locals have taken kindly to Harris’ take on Italian, with shareable plates of mascarpone polenta topped with a daily-changing ragu, creative bruschetta, rustic pizzas and a wine list heavy on California selections. You’ll find the best seats on the cozy back patio. L, D (daily). 1655 India St., Little Italy, 619.237.9606
