Description

Named after the Sicilian word for "small," this intimate trattoria offers Italian recipes made with market-fresh ingredients alongside an affordable wine list. The experience is shaped by the host's highly interactive, personal style of hospitality. While many guests welcome his passionate attention, others find his loud, hands-on teasing intrusive. The dining experience is also marked by strict payment policies, which include rules around paying or tipping in cash.
