Cena 081's surname is the area code of Naples. The spirited restaurant has your number, too. Starring Italian-American and Italian specialties, Cena 081 sends out favorites in generous portions with hospitable style. It's an upbeat, colorful, satisfying successor to the flashy Chi Dining Lounge. It channels a very different chi.

Owner Joe Stasi and executive chef Francesco Perone fashion a restaurant meant to evoke the cuisine of Campania and, equally important, to suggest the flavor of Durazzano, a small town in the province of Benevento, about 19 miles northeast of Naples.
