La Giara is an Italian restaurant with a decent menu, not a perfunctory American Italian. Go in and order whatever you want. There are pasta, pizza, and salad. The taste is authentic. It's suitable to go when you want to eat something comfortable. You can make an appointment with a friend or stroll there yourself after work. The environment is not too formal, but it is not confusing.
