A Voce preferred not to have photos taken of the food, so I can't share with you the chef's roasted beet salad, surmounted by greens; his grandma's ravioli, generously filled with (reportedly) a mixture of beef, veal, and pork and dressed with tomato sauce and parmigian cheese; and choux (under a different name) that would send Beard Papa packing. See for yourself; for the Restaurant Week prix fixe ($24.08 at lunch only, weekdays through February 1), a party of two, or a very lucky party of four, has a decent chance of scoring a walk-in table if they arrive by 12:30 or so.
