Fresh, bold and very busy.

You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant draws you in.  but we’ve got a better idea.  Each week Dix Hills Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out.

Here is this week’s choice:

La Focaccia -- True to its signage, La Focaccia is a pizzeria and gourmet eatery rolled into one.  An extremely popular place where paninis, wraps and salads are not just afterthoughts, but "stars" in their own right.

La Focaccia Panini ($7.75), delicious eaten hot or cold, is filled with grilled chicken, homemade mozzarella, roasted red peppers, tomato bruschetta, fresh basil leaves and balsamic dressing.
