1. Luce is usually very good, upscale Italian fare. I have eaten
dinner there dozens of times over the last few years. I only had
one bad service experience on a Sunday afternoon.      Town
House on Whitney Ave. is basically diner fare, but just a notch
above. Great place to hang after lunch.      Bread and Chocolate
is a nice place for soup and a sandwich. It's a bakery/cafe on
Whitney ave.      Ixtapa does Mexican very well. Also on Whitney
Ave.       1. Recently had a very nice lunch at Mickey"s on the
corner of Whitney and Dixwell. Seared scallops with white beans,
a lamb burger very leisurely . Cumin has a nice buffet, I have
not been to Luce in a very long time but was always good when I
did go        9 Replies       1. re: mmalmad          Boy, have

House resta
