Description

Inspiration comes from the sunny flavors of Southern Italy in this easygoing Old Town favorite, but the cooking isn’t overly preoccupied with tradition. For instance, nonna might not countenance the amount of butter that goes into a dish of orecchiette with sausage and rapini—but the indulgent results are unlikely to elicit any complaints. Scrupulously fresh seafood is a highlight, whether it be an albacore tuna carpaccio with celery and capers, or tender grilled octopus with marinated artichoke. It’s only fitting to end a meal with a spot-on rendition of cannoli with creamy ricotta filling. Those who are particularly smitten can take a bit of flavor home: the imported Sicilian olive oil, tomato sauce and pasta lining the walls are available for purchase.
