| With a pressed-tin ceiling and smart, minimalist décor, this diminutive spot beams an edgy Euro buzz. Owners Michele and Cindy Savoia attract both a hip bar crowd and food-focused diners. Small tables, closely spaced, plus frenetic activity on weekends may not set the stage for intimate conversation. To avoid the hustle, go early evening or mid-week. Open till midnight, the kitchen executes fresh, interesting food. The menu speaks stylish Southern Italian, especially Sicilian. Sicily-born Michele shops daily, seeking out good products to express the dishes he grew up with. Nightly specials, tied to the markets, make the best choices. You can order a little (mixed olives, bruschetta, octopus salad) or a lot (pasta---including homemade gnocchi with lamb ragù, duck or Bolognese---filet mignon in rosemary wine sauce). Don’t miss the mussels; beef carpaccio; and grilled sardines, served with sweet-and-sour caramelized fried onions. House-made desserts comfort with tiramisu, chocolate bread pudding and limoncello cheese cake. |
