Description
Inspired by a 17th-century villa near Florence, the dining room channels the feel of an Italian family kitchen. Outside, tables spill onto a terrazza on tree-lined Grove Street. The menu's strength lies in execution: the highly praised cacio e pepe and fresh egg pastas share space with octopus, a surprisingly celebrated green salad, and bruschetta on house-made bread.
