How do some cuisines seem to get it so right? Via Boffe, a relaxed little haven of Italian good-times, effortlessly serves up casual, quality dishes to a loyal clientele. Perch on a bar stool, sip coffee and leaf through the papers while nibbling on sugar-powdered pastries and slender panini of provolone and ham served with a swirl of oil and balsamic. Simple squares of pizza are perfect with a glass of crisp white in the sunny, secret back room. You'll find a daily soup and a whimsical range of dishes (maybe veal tortelloni, or a light squid salad) that may just convince you to stay a while longer.
