URBANA. A popular fine dining restaurant, Timpone specializes in Italian cuisine with a few American dishes thrown in for good measure. Warm and inviting, the dining room is decorated with earthy hues and attractive sconces, and tables, appointed with white linens, allow just enough privacy for intimate conversation. The kitchen staff combines hand-selected organic ingredients in creative ways, and all of the pastas and pizzas are made fresh each day. Representative main courses range from risotto with black grouper, scallops, and Gulf shrimp to prosciutto-wrapped roast veal tenderloin with braised Jerusalem artichokes and spinach purée.

URBANA. This old-fashioned eatery occupies the former space of the "Courier Newspaper." The café starts off each day by delivering one of the best homestyle breakfasts around ­ it doesn't matter if it's an omelet or potato pancakes you crave. Tasty burgers and sandwiches (see their mammoth Dagwood) are a cinch to appease any lunchtime hunger pangs. As for dinner, the kitchen serves tasty "sit down fare" like pork tenderloin and Southern fried chicken. And here's the "scoop" on dessert: Hand-dipped shakes and hot fudge sundaes are well worth the grandiose headlines they get.

URBANA. Milo's is a locally-owned restaurant whose success rests on the strengths of its friendly service and outstanding American cuisine. Casual and even a little quirky at times, the place has all the charm of a neighborhood eatery, from a loyal cast of regulars to one-of-a-kind dishes like "upside-down pizzas." Thankfully, culinary creativity doesn't stop there, as seasonal dishes like wild mushroom-stuffed salmon, shrimp cakes with mint caper tartar sauce, and rack of lamb attest. Waterside patio seating provides a perfect setting for wining and dining when it's nice out.

Hours: Mon-Thu 8am-2pm, 5pm-9pm; Fri 8am-2pm, 5pm-10pm; Sat 8am-3pm, 5pm-10pm; Sun 8am-3pm, 4pm-8pm
