Brother-and-sister team Adam and Elisa Mariani (of nearby Elio’s Place and Maverick on Little Collins Street) serve made-to-order beauties at Greta,a chic wood-and-glass hangout at the basement of the majestic Olderfleet tower.

At lunch,baguettes include Greta’s famous beef roll stuffed with slow-cooked beef cheek,mozzarella and pesto,with a side of napoli for dunking purposes.

The Euro-inspired wine-diner also has a great Thursday-night lure:your choice of two pastas and a glass of “very good” wine for only $30. (Hot tip:Wednesday night is dedicated to $22 parmigiana). Walk-ins are welcome,but bookings are encouraged.
