La Carretta is a lively seaside dining room where big portions, approachable prices, and friendly servers often make the meal feel like good business. Seafood pasta, pizza, and fried seafood are the safer bets, but recent complaints show that execution and hospitality can wobble badly at peak times. Try: seafood pasta.
A modern, energetic Massa spot with plenty of seating, a busy social atmosphere, and an unusually broad dough-and-pastry offering from morning through dinner.
