"Not all post-shopping meals are the same. Sometimes you just want to be fed and watered like a little doggo who can’t believe they didn’t get to spend the day at the park, and then sometimes you want to sit in a glorious setting and rehash every single item in your shopping bags in excruciating detail. When it comes to the latter, La Goccia has got you covered. A high-end Italian small plates spot from the people behind Petersham Nurseries, their hidden courtyard is the perfect place to hide from the crowds, eat some burrata, and discuss all the reasons you absolutely had to buy that silk blouse." - heidi lauth beasley
