"This lively osteria on Galveston is upscale but casual, modeled after the feel of Ava Gene’s in Portland. The menu features European wine-friendly food with pasta dishes originating in northern Italy that are made fresh daily. Enjoy classic dishes like the Bigoli cacio e pepe” or tagliatelle with pork and beef rags. Don’t miss the airy housemade focaccia wedge. Main courses are large portions meant to be shared, like the branzino grilled whole sea bass topped with an olive and herb ravigote that offsets the rich, delicate fish. Reservations are required, but you may be able to nab a seat at the bar if you get there when they open." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
