Description
The neighborhood trattoria balances a polished look with a family-friendly, unpretentious vibe. While mornings bring seasonal brunch dishes, the dinner menu centers on colorful plating and local ingredients, featuring dishes like truffle potato cacio e pepe, burrata, and lobster pasta. Behind the bar, bartenders mix what locals highlight as a standout espresso martini, keeping the energy lively into the evening.
