    A huge plus one to the Fig & goats Cheese Bruchettas! I also had the walnut, Gorgonzola & honey and the tomato and proscutio ham ones, also mighty fine!

    Great looking place and even better food. Had the meat balls app and the braised short rib pappardelle and it was soul touching. And found my wine of the summer!

    Start with the marinated olives and polpette (meatballs, spinach, polenta). Then have the cavolo (kale salad) and pappardelle (w/ short rib ragu). Enjoy with a whiskey-based cocktail.

    The food here is actually great, and the wine isn’t bad. The crowd can be a bit strange, but it’s a nice space with a front window table worth waiting for.

    Amazing bruschetta - fig and Gorgonzola - get the pasta with pesto and olives. Also the pear flan is insanely good.

    Amazing martinis and good Italian food. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing with low lights and friendly servers.

    Pappardelle with short rib ragu is pretty good, but not life changing. The portions are a bit small for the price, especially the salads. Wines aren't great, ask for a taste before you order.

    Always awesome. Especially the Tano Burger in a city full of world class burgers. Not to mention all the fernet-esque type of drinks and cool staff.

    Great place. Goat cheese and fig bruchette is tasty. Gemelle tano is great if u like pasta in a cream sauce. Jac had la scaloppina and liked it alot. Sit inside tho cause outside is noisy with traffic

    Calarami, crispy and light and delicious. Carbonara, fantastic and add some red chili flakes for that extra punch!

    The portions here are tiny. You leave hungrier than when you came. $18 for a teeny salad? No bueno :(

    Agreed-the bruschetta with goat cheese and fig spread is divine. I also liked the shrimp and fagioli salad, the grilled chicken salad. Tho the waitress was a bit spacy, she was nice.
