The Michelin Guide's review
Say hello to your quintessential neighborhood hangout. Armed with two bars, candles flickering on every surface and a menu committed to southern Italy, Chef Karen Akunowicz’s bigger-boned follow-up to Fox & The Knife gets all the little details just right. A lengthy amaro selection and fine-tuned cocktails set the stage for familiar dishes that deliver on flavor and finesse. Shrimp toast with lardo or grilled summer beans with tomato vinegar make for worthy starts. House-made pastas are the main event. Think spaghetti al limone with Jonah crab, squid ink casarecce with lobster and malloreddus with spicy sausage ragu and saffron. Dessert is a must, and the tiramisu with amaro-soaked ladyfingers packs all the crunch you didn’t know you needed.
