Aria, Woodland

The words "Fresh, Simple, Delicious" are written across each menu at Aria, and they aren't empty of meaning. Let's start with "Fresh"—the culinary team sources its sustainable ingredients locally and crafts each of its Italian dishes in-house, from the pasta down to the bread. Just one look around the high-ceilinged dining room, with its exposed brick walls and framed black-and-white photos, is enough to see where the "Simple" comes from. And there's no denying that delectable options such as the butternut squash risotto and pork tenderloins with mushroom ragu are anything but "Delicious." Pours from an extensive wine list complement meals, which typically end on a sweet note with a scoop of housemade gelato.
