Bia Bistro
Best of Boston 2007 Bistro, Neighborhood South
That contented sigh that comes with shucking off the 9-to-5 suit in favor of jeans and a tee? Its the same one you might hear any night at this four-year-old bistro, as diners relax into its placid charms. Dusky red walls and buttery candlelight set the scene for chef Brian Houlihans contemporary versions of European comfort-food classics, like duck confit with poached figs, steak au poivre, and tarte Tatin. Figure in a modest but irreproachable wine list, and a night at Bia goes down easy in every sense.
