Miele’s Pizzeria & Restaurant doesn’t skimp on quality. Here, brothers Sergio and Giuseppe Miele make everything from scratch, and that home-cooked love is evident in the tasty offerings. The white pizza, with ricotta and mozzarella, is a house favorite, as are the garlic knots — in fact, anything featuring bread here is a hit. The restaurant also offers salads, sandwiches and entrees such as pasta and eggplant, all served in a simple setting. With food this good, though, you don’t need anything fancy.
