Nerano is a jewel. A smallish local place with fabulous Italian food. The small pizzas are a perfect starter for friends having dinner together. The linguine with clams was perfect. The small (8 oz.) steak -- while not very Italian -- was wonderful, tender and tasty with mashed potatoes on the side.
