Cheap Eats 2006

Miss stuffing yourself into your Italian nonna's crowded dining room? Sidle up to this authentic eatery, at once romantic and family-friendly. Start with a gargantuan Caesar ($6, $9 with chicken or shrimp) and a surprisingly lengthy red-wine selection ($6-$9 a glass). For entrees, try basics like the lasagne ($11) or spaghetti and meatballs ($10), or go for broke with heavenly crab and grilled-artichoke ravioli covered in an alfredo sauce ($12). Don't forget to share that tiramisu ($4.50)—but you'll probably have to order two. (KS)
