"The chef and owner of now-closed Seattle pasta legend Il Corvo moved a few hours east to open this spot in Waitsburg—and it's mandatory to plan dinner here. See the chalkboard menu? Just order the whole damn lot. There’s focaccia so dense and moist it could stand in for birthday cake, paper-thin mortadella, and quilted ravioli filled with feta and doused in jammy sungold pulp. It’s not easy to get into this 18-seat stunner, but the hassle becomes worth it when you’re sucked into a happy vortex caused by overconsumption of semolina. Let the amaro flow and have the most memorable two hours of your trip." - aimee rizzo
