“Best of 225” awards weekly pick – Best new restaurant

There’s nothing little about the portions — or the flavors — at the Little Village, where meatballs are a high art, and the buttery, parm and herb-topped Village Bread is impossibly addictive. The adjacent bistro bar is a great martini-sipping springboard to the restaurant, which is set off nicely by exposed brick. Don’t miss the Frangelico mousse.
