Everything is shareable so get about 2 plates per person (factor in dessert). Recommend polenta fritters to start, pork belly for meat, and strozzapreti for pasta. But remember menu changes!

This was my first Ethan Stowell restaurant, and I simply loved it. The sourdough bread - the best bread appetizer I’ve had. Strozzapreti (buttery) and Duck Confit were amazingly delicious!

Fresh ingredient and love the pasta. Very friendly services. If you can't reserve a table, try to walk in, they have some counter seats. Lastly, Dessert is fantastic - we tried chocolate butter cake.

Stellar in every way. Exceptional and attentive service. Every food we tried was something we’ve never had before. Chicken liver mousse! What an anniversary treat! Will definitely be back.

Delicious farm to table Italian-style New American. Great wine selection (loved the Dolcetto) and the soft cooked egg with dungeness crab! Gooey duck pasta is awesome as well.

Unbelievable meal! Heirloom tomato salad, chicken liver mousse, hamachi crudo, risotto with corn, marscapone and chanterelles and bucatini with crab, basil, and grape tomatoes. Mind blowing.

I have been here multiple times. They don't have a big menu but it changed often. I'm a fan of Ethan Stowell, there are some other restaurants he has in the city. Pasta is definitely a try!

Quiet & cozy atmosphere. I can see why people say it's good for dates. The agnolotti w/ butternut squash & brown butter is amazing!

The beef carpaccio was amazing, clams had a great tangy sauce but the real star was the panna otta with saba, pistacchios and fresh mangoes. So good we had to order a second one!

Everything is amazing (bonus points for the MFK Fisher reference) but I would come here just for the incredible bread.

Ask for "The Professor". It's an off the menu cocktail that will have you coming back often.

Make sure you have the gnocchi and a vodka tonic. Great italian food to die for. Worth the annoying parking situation.

The Italian-inflected menu has no big platters of family-style entrees like sister restaurant Tavolata, but there are several pastas plus a lengthy list of appetizers. Consider the halved eggs. Read more
