Though I find clean-cut, minimal
interiors like the one here to be increasingly boring, at La Mensa it has the added zest
of a gourmet food and vegetable store tacked on. There's a communal table seating about 20
people, as well as other smaller tables both inside and out. The stand-out main courses
are roast beef rib-eye with lentils and garlic puree, veal with spinach and onions, and
braised lamb shanks with soft polenta. The couple of vegetarian items include roast banana
chilies filled with risotto.
