For casual Italian fare and some pretty decent pizza at modest prices, you'd be hard-pressed to beat Bertucci's. Décor suggests an Italian bistro, and everything is geared to casual fun. First up is the chewy, dense bread --- ask for olive oil for dunking --- and if service is a bit slow, remember this is a busy, twentysomething place, especially at lunchtime. With so many pizza choices, you'd think that the pies are the main game, and it's difficult to pass up such tempting choices as the BBQ chicken. For a change of pace check out the pastas and panini plus assorted heartier entrées and a special gluten-free menu. For dessert, try a sampler: Italian cheesecake, the ubiquitous tiramisu and Key lime pie.
