There comes a time when you understand the difference between noodles with Parmesan from a green can and a plate of penne with thick curls of aged Parmigiano Reggiano. When you learn this, you will need to go directly to Restaurant Alma where chef Alex Roberts masters the details that make simple dishes great. Orecchiette pasta with artichokes and cauliflower had a spicy sweetness with the addition of mint and hot peppers. Watercress and smoked chicken salad was lightly touched with tarragon and horseradish. As you learn the finer ways of eating, you'll try things like the mixed grill of quail, rabbit, and chorizo and wonder how you survived on chicken sandwiches for so long. And if there's ever a place to begin your after-dinner-cheese-plate tradition, start here with gorgonzola and candied kumquats with moro orange gelee. By the way, their wine list is quietly known as one of the best collections in the city.
