It's surprising we have not yet been to Upland, considering what a lovely restaurant it is and that Obama had lunch there when he was in town last year. It's right up the street from Doberman, where my sister works, so we met her for a charming lunch of caesar salad, addictively good french fries, a pretty amazing porchetta and egg sandwich and equally delicious bucatini cacio e pepe. It's not a cheap lunch, though not prohibitively expensive. Definitely a place to go if you want to impress.
