Off the beaten path behind a nondescript facade in Lincoln Square, the welcoming I Monelli Trattoria Pizzeria serves a straightforward, midpriced Italian menu – antipasti, pasta, panini, salads and thin-crust Roman pizza – topped off by housemade desserts; the modern setting features wood accents and buttery walls, ornately inlaid furnishings and Italian photos; N.B. it plans to be BYO for at least a year.
