    One of many EV Italian spots, but possible the best tasting: meatballs, scialatielli; cavatelli with spicy sausage; garganelli botarga (traditional Sicilian pasta with fish roe); tortellini con ragu.

    If Superman, Batman, Ironman, and a bunch of other super people somehow had a baby together, and that baby became, like, a really good chef, they would probably make all of the food here.

    This place is a neighborhood gem. Lovely, casual wine bar serving incredible food. Friendly service. Don't miss the veal meatballs (if they're on special), shrimp pasta, octopus & chocolate mousse.

    Grilled octopus is amazing. Love their Italian wines and pastas too. Can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, such a great neighborhood Italian spot.

    Very small space inside, some outdoor seating. Try the tortelloni di coda & the pistachio ice cream 👌🏻 prices are steep for portion size

    Love this wine bar... I think it maybe our new favourite haunt. It reminded me of Rome. Great selection of Italian wines and the service and atmosphere was just excellent. Love it!

    Sit on the sidewalk and sip Italian wines. You'll feel like you're in another country, or another era.

    Go somewhere else for Italian. While the food was good, the service was horrible. Table of 4. 3 gets pasta but they forgot the fish AND it took 30 minutes to finally come to the table.🤬 Not worth it.

    To say the owner is a confusingly angry man is weird to have to say about a restaurant. Be prepared for an uncomfortable dining experience
