I enjoyed the generous portion of perfectly prepared swordfish w/tasty sides. Everyone at our table was oohing and aching about the food. And I loved the tangerine panna cotta for dessert. Paired with very nice Italian wine list. Bring back the wine flights, please!

The tagliolini pepati is still absolutely amazing. The risotto was creative and spectacular with roasted corn, hazelnuts, and anherbed ricotta salata. The owners were friendly and provided great service. The space reminded me a lot of Aperto, too.Comfortable, cozy, relaxed, inviting. A perfect neighborhood restaurant and worth going out of your way to get to.
