"Much like the brash-yet-charming patriarch of The Sopranos, this relatively new Interstate endeavor from the team behind Swift Lounge is a fascinating puzzle. The front door’s in the back, the back room’s in the front, and despite the low-key tavern look, the menu features a dozen Italian restaurant classics, from baked ziti to gabagool. “It’s the kind of place where everyone will talk to you,” says Allie, who came up in the Tampa club scene and currently holds down the bar at Lombard’s Mousetrap Tavern. “It’s just good vibes.”" - Ben Coleman
