86 Ristorante Amalfi, Bloomingdale

Ristorante Amalfi may be located in landlocked Bloomington, but its cuisine still evokes Italy's Amalfi Coast. That's thanks, in no small part, to broiled shrimp scampi and other seafood dishes, which make the ocean feel closer at hand than a sand-rimmed margarita. It's also a tribute to the Italian spirit of the chefs' meals, which range from bruschetta and eggplant parmesan to 15+ styles of scratch-made pasta. Diners can to wash it all down with glasses from the extensive, mostly-Italian wine list, whose vintages range from rich reds to sparkling prosecco.
