From the owners of Beretta comes Delarosa, a modern Italian restaurant that’s conveniently located on Chestnut Street in the Marina district. Though the signage looks more at home on a stainless steel Italian espresso machine, the interior is warm and inviting, with its share of high top communal tables encouraging conversation amongst diners.
Chef Ruggero Gadaldi’s menu features a mix of antipasti, salads, pastas, and Roman style pizzas, all complimented by a large selection of draft beers, wines and cocktails. Read more »

Appropriate for nearly any occasion, a bouquet of some freshly cut Springtime flowers or a potted orchid in bloom is a perfect choice for a last minute gift. Wrapped in simple brown butcher paper and tied in place with a thick ribbon, the mix of colors from the bouquet are understated and elegant. Read more »

Dog sitting for the weekend lent itself the opportunity to stop in at Catnip & Bones to find some treats for Oliver, my cousin’s Maltese Yorkie. This small pet boutique located on Chestnut Street is bright and welcoming, clean, and neatly organized with nearly everything an owner could want for their cat or dog. Oliver was most interested in the dog desserts and edible chew toys, and since I could not decide between all the choices, the owner’s recommendations helped keep that puppy preoccupied all afternoon.

For delicious Chinese food on the healthier side, Dragon Well is an excellent choice. A fixture in the Marina district since 1998; the service is consistently friendly and attentive, and the food is always fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. Dragon Well is a great place for a casual date; the high ceilings give a loft-like feel to the space, while the subtle lighting makes dining here feel more intimate. I really like this restaurant for its clean and contemporary decor; the dark wood furniture contrasts nicely with the cream paint, creating an interior that feels welcoming and warm. Read more »

Owned and operated by the Bosco family since opening in 1929, Lucca Delicatessen has been a Marina staple, satisfying local cravings for gourmet Italian sandwiches, premium deli meats, homemade pastas, and focaccia for generations. Lucca roasts and ages many of their own meats; their homemade ravioli, gnocchi, tortellini, and bread sticks are all worth sampling. Read more »
