Funke is a go-to for a reason — the format is built for sharing, the energy is right for a group, and the food is consistent enough that everyone leaves happy.
La Scala handles larger tables well and has a menu with enough variety that even the pickiest eater in the group will find something. Call ahead if you're coming with 6 or more.
Groups have a harder time walking in, especially on weekends. Reservations are strongly recommended for parties of 4 or more. Most of these spots book through OpenTable or Resy.
