This is such a wonderful little place, I know I will be back. The first thing to understand is that there is only one main course option: veal Milanese, served with your choice of sides. Do not let that deter you. The concept is based on traditional restaurants in small Italian villages that offered only the freshest locally available ingredients. The result is a simple yet delightfully delicious experience.
Given that the accompaniments can change, your server will inform you of your options. On our recent visit, our choices were as follows. The starter was two bruschetta with cherry tomatoes and a cheese spread, along with two deliciously light arrancini in a cheese sauce. The white wine option was a Gavi di Gavi, which happens to be my favorite Italian varietal, so I was already in heaven.
As I was sharing the monstrous Milanese, my daughter and I needed to debate the sides, so we settled on fried zucchini strips and an arugula salad, and we paid for an extra side of penne arrabbiata. They also offered fries and a penne with pomodoro.
Everything was delicious; the veal was pounded thin but remained tender and juicy. The crust was just the right balance of crunch and salt. The arrabbita was a great decision as was the arugula. We didn’t eat all the zucchini, but mainly because of how many fried veggies you can eat when you're facing a one sq. Foot of deep-fried veal, don’t get me wrong, everything was terrific.
As mentioned, the servings are generous, so we didn’t have a lot of room for dessert, but I find it impossible to turn down an affogato, so lucky me, they had one.
There are two other sister restaurants from the same owners: one serves lasagna, and the other is more of an Italian bar concept. Suffice it to say, I am going to try all three. Everything about this restaurant felt like a family-run business, and I loved it from start to finish. I suspect you will too.
