Italian restaurant · South Boston

"Chef Karen Akunowicz’s second restaurant in Southie has a 25-seat main bar housed in a former Airstream that’s been given a marble-topped, glamorous revamp before opening. It’s the perfect spot to set up shop for a solo meal of farro arancini, burrata pomodoro and lamb ragu orecchiette – or whatever you desire. The fare is made even better because you don’t have to share." - Nathan Tavares, Tanya Edwards, Eater Staff
