Esquire: Anteprima’s menu changes daily. Hakurei turnips, breakfast radish, ramps, & morels in spring. Corn & tomatoes in summer. Roots in fall. Squashes, truffles, and alliums through the winter.

Don't go here. Visit any of the many nearby places instead. The owner is insulting and rude. He has no business being in the restaurant industry. The food is passable. But the service is atrocious.

Purity Vodka, the most refined spirit in the world had arrived you should really try it in a classic martini. Their selection of great vermouths seal the deal.

This trattoria crams its friendly menu with rustic Italian standouts, like braised house-made lamb sausage. Love the pasta but desserts trail off.

Bonuses: affordable Italian wines and a pleasant patio. You’d be wise to mix one with the other.

Very relaxing and great service. Kind of expensive but it is high end Italian. Would go back again pasta with pork belly.

It’s cute, it’s bustling, service is helpful, and the food borders between good & great. In warm weather, seek out the secluded back patio, where vegetables & herbs enhance the rustic, seasonal fare. Read more

Grilled octopus is a go-to, any pasta is great..they offer half portions. In the summer their patio is great.

Spinach pappadelle with chicken livers, brown butter and sage is fantastic. Tuna carpaccio with fennel is a great start.

Great food! It was a little small and the wait on a Thursday was surprising but a great spot for a fine dining experience!
