Take the Green Line C (Cleveland Circle) train to Coolidge Corner and you’ll find a rather fancy and formal restaurant for the suburbs, more like Le Soir or Lumiere than anything else outside Boston or Cambridge. Menu changes daily, and chef-owner Jeremy Sewall’s wife Lisa offers a pastry menu as well.
Insider's Tip: The white-potato-mushroom/parmesan/white-truffle-oil pizza is a thin-crust masterpiece, with the potatoes adding another kind of crunch, and the sliced baby bella mushrooms providing a focus for the musky truffle aroma, so pronounced that even a truffle-insensitive nose can pick up some of the sharp sandlewood smell.
