Description




While reservations are notoriously difficult to secure, the kitchen delivers on the reputation with a focused, thoughtful menu. Handcrafted pasta is the main draw, particularly the highly praised mafaldini and agnolotti. The kitchen turns out wood-fired seafood, mussels, and lamb leg, while the dessert list features a gelato called the Italian Job, dressed with olive oil and fennel pollen. Classic Italian cocktails round out a dining experience that balances its high-end reputation with a casual, lively atmosphere.
