"Chef-partner Tyler Akin returned after his beloved Italian BYOB closed during the pandemic, resurrecting his 'love letter to all-day cafe dining' as a day-to-night Mediterranean culinary journey in Fishtown. Dishes inspired by the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia — bluefin tuna with sun-dried tomatoes; sea urchin butter tartine with grilled octopus and salsa verde; and braised veal osso buco — take center stage alongside a stellar brunch menu and a neighboring cocktail-piano bar. In partnership with the lavish hotel Anna & Bel, the project also represents the business savviness within the city’s dining scene — one that’s both conceptually ambitious and wisely collaborative." - Ernest Owens
