Description
Inside, the dining experience centers on a large communal table shared between different parties, with the remaining tables set close together. The tight footprint can lead to a crowded room and occasional bottlenecks near the door, but the atmosphere remains social and relaxed. For those dining with pets, a few tables on the adjacent side street offer a dog-friendly setup complete with attentive service and water bowls. The kitchen keeps a full-service pace from breakfast through dinner, offering plates like chicken over arugula and mushrooms alongside cheese and pickled vegetables.
