"One thing I loved here was the confident undercurrent of Calabrian chiles, whose warmth and fruity flavor add surprise to familiar dishes like the chicken Parm. They shine even more in the crab salad ($18), hefty chunks of lump crab bound with just enough lemon aioli and finished with a bright red drizzle of Calabrian chile oil. Arriving on a bed of ice, it’s perfectly chilled, while the chile oil delivers a bolt of bright heat; the crackers hold up nicely, and bread service lets you swipe some crab onto the olive focaccia, too." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
