Best Fine, Authentic Italian in a casual setting. Easy for lunch. You’ll need reservations for weekend dinner and it will be tight and noisy. I order White Bean & Arugula Salad w/grilled squid & any pasta. Entrees served family style for large groups. Speakeasy style entry-it’s the door and intimidating stairway to the left of “Hibachi Box”. You’ll think you’re wrong-you’re not. Sister restaurants Dinamo & Mama Zu’s are also excellent.

Fabulous fine dining requiring reservations months in advance (casual attire). If there are only 2 of you, you may be able to snag a first come, first served seat at the tiny bar. LGBTQ owned and not afraid to flaunt it. I order the Vegan Orgy appetizer & any entree. Super fun choosing your cocktail.

Folks drive from hours away for this Soul Food. No reservations, get there early or expect a wait. Order the Pineapple Coconut Cake for dessert even if you have to get it to go - big enough to share.
