Description
The kitchen leans into Neapolitan Italian classics made with fresh ingredients that recall family recipes. Regulars of over a decade steer newcomers toward the vongole, while the lasagne bolognese and halibut with precisely executed sauces also draw praise. Beyond dinner, the restaurant opens for weekend brunch, served by a staff known for helpful recommendations.
