"This small Italian restaurant is a good spot for catching up with friends, or dinner with someone you’ve been dating for a while. The tables are pretty close together, so we wouldn’t talk about any projects you’re working on that require triple top secret security clearance to even know about (but you weren’t going to do that anyway, right?) Focus on the constantly changing California-style Italian pastas, all made in-house. There may be a casoncelli with suckling pig and rich pork jus that will remind you why you love pasta in the first place, or a pappardelle with tender braised short ribs that fall apart under the weight of your fork." - will kamensky, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
