    i must have ordered wrong because i was very "meh" on everything i got. so don't get the burrata appetizer, don't get the spaghetti with sea urchin, don't get the steak for two because it's really fatty. also, for sure, don't sit at the bar because the tall skinny bartender is absolutely abysmal.

      The wood-fired oven pizzas are excellent.

        Agree. Especially the plain Margherita.

        Octopus in purgatory, bocconcini (mozzarella wrapped in speck), gnocchi with mushrooms, suckling pig.

            It's served in a spicy tomato sauce.

          The spicy octopus appetizer. I've also heard good things about the lamb with polenta.
