An always-jammed urban trattoria for pizzas, pastas and entrées.

It’s worth the wait for the simple but well-executed crisp pizzas, fresh plates of pasta, and straightforward Italian entrées such as grilled steak or braised lamb shanks available at this defiantly untrendy Italian restaurant. You’ll find a casual setting with a scattering of tables, and a counter overlooking the bustling open kitchen. There's a feeling of controlled chaos making the place as lively as any café in Tuscany. For dessert, try a classic like tiramisu. The mostly Italian wine list enhances the overall comfort level. For a cocktail, head to Bar Mingo next door. It’s a warm space with a sunset color scheme and features good cocktails with a range of small plates.
