Description
Drawing culinary inspiration from Bologna and Florence, the kitchen serves unfussy comfort food. Guests highlight the phenomenal Negroni and a shared tricolore salad large enough for three. While the cacio e pepe leans toward a smaller portion, the rich seafood spaghetti and meaty lasagna topped with parmigiano deliver deep flavor. The interior balances a chic, intimate vibe suited for date nights with an attentive staff that treats first-timers like regulars.
