"Chef Matthew Oetting serves “stylish American cuisine with a thick Italian accent” in a charming room draped in floral wallpaper and petite white tablecloths, and reservations book up quickly. Begin with a cocktail or mocktail alongside the yellowtail crudo with green apple, pickled ginger, jicama, Calabrian chili, basil, and an apple-hibiscus sauce—it’s complex and an absolute joy to taste. Pastas are made from scratch, with fan favorites including the Campanelle Zafferano, a lobster pasta, and Ziti alla Bolognese made with beef and veal. For an entrée, the Ossobuco Milanese with bone marrow au jus is ideal for chilly weather, delivering a familiar yet refined experience." - Simone Phillips
