There's no question that Charlatan is a neighborhood gem serving incredible pastas. Expect moist meatballs the size of tennis balls, swaddled in a nest of al dente spaghettini.

One not to miss is the grilled octopus: good-size pieces over romesco sauce and beef-braised carrots, topped with a crunchy-sprinkle of marrow-fried ciabatta bits.

When bread reminds you of cracklins, applause is an appropriate reaction. Charlatan, manages to bake focaccia as light and crunchy as fried chicken skin.

Waffles vs. pancakes is one of brunch's eternal battles, and here they are locked in delicious détente. You should probably bring at least one person with you so you can share rather than choose.

The "Because Winter" cocktail is a nice mix of rum and grapefruit. I had their steak and was very surprised at the presentation and the quality. Great restaurant. Hope they stick around.
