I Cavallini

The interior leans beautiful and slightly quirky, framed by a funky playlist kept at a moderate volume. While opinions on the pasta vary—with some finding the rich, spicy farfallone with butter chili excellent and others calling the pasta selection underwhelming—the focaccia with whipped ricotta and a house martini are reliable starting points. Beyond pasta, the kitchen turns out a huge, shareable pork chop in a sweet-savory umami sauce. The room manages to feel alive without getting loud, supported by highly attentive service.
