Dio Mio

To say that Dio Mio is an Italian restaurant is like saying Beyonce is a singer—technically accurate, but not really painting the full picture of just how glorious each is at their respective craft. The radiatori pasta coated with basil pistachio pesto and topped with sesame and seaweed furikake is next-level, and the nearly foot-long chicken parm is the best in town thanks to a layer of sweet salami compote and spicy and tangy Thai chile giardiniera. The setting also happens to be fast-casual, meaning you can get in and out as quickly as you’d like, and for non-bank-breaking prices (half of the generous-sized entrees are under $20).
