This uplifted stylish osteria, from the creators of award-winning Street Pizza restaurants, serves up Italy’s finest all region flavors and culinary traditions. They use superb provincial products: expect San Marzano tomatoes from volcanic soil, bold-spicy Sicilian olive oil, best flour, their winelist includes DOCG wines from niche producers. Chef Sergejs Gjačs hand-crafts every dish with precision: pasta, gnocchi, all sauces and marinades, gelato and tiramisu everything is homemade. All delicatessen, cold cuts and cheese are directly supplied from Italy. His slow-cooked calf ossobuco, bolognese from wild deer hunted by the establishment owners, is a standout, as is the black risotto Milanese. Gjačs' dishes are all about simplicity—just three or four ingredients that let the flavors shine. For a true taste of Italy, this is the place to be. Amicable service, fancy Art-Nouveau hood location.
