Get reasonably priced comfort food at Christo’s, an Italian restaurant with no-fail classics such as linguini and clams ($9.50) and fettuccine Alfredo ($8.50.) The interior is great for a business lunch, with white-linen-covered tables and artwork on the walls. If you’re looking to splurge, try the hearty rack of lamb ($26.95) or the veal piccata ($16.95), and save room for the sweet white-chocolate mousse.
