Finally went here last night and wow! The food and drinks were amazing…got the mushroom arancini and espresso martinis…great vibe. Great atmosphere, it was lively and pretty crowded but we were able to get a seat at the bar relatively easily, super fast service. I’ll be back very soon!!
A cool, hip aperitivo bar serving small Italian bites; a bustling place to hang out with a drink or two in hand!
PARKING: Street parking on side streets available, not too much trouble to find a spot and walking a block over.
VIBE: Dim lighting, Dark wood paneling, plush red booth seating, bar seating surrounding the central bar (wall behind filled with gorgeous spirits), outdoor seating too. Likely a row or two people deep if you're here on a busy evening.
GETTING SITUATED / ORDERING: Open seating here! You seat yourself, so snag seats, booths, bar stools as they open up. You order at the bar for everything including drinks and food; open up your tab for a few rounds! There are small menus around the place but we were good with the website's menu without having to look for a physical copy.
DRINKS: The APERITIVO/COCKTAILS menu is the forte here! Many aperitifs to choose from, with the selection of amaro being a standout. Wines, beers, non-alcoholic options available.
We had the:
SOUR CHERRY SPRITZ (refreshing with a rich dark maraschino cherry at the bottom with cherry amaro),
VERMOUTH with soda (served with lemon peel),
BOBBY SPECIAL (the best one: a mug of Peroni, plus a Ferrari shot; drank them separately, drank them together, lovely floral / herbal aroma from the shot, a perfect pairing with the cool Peroni), and the
FROZEN NEGRONI (rich and served with maraschino cherry).
All well balanced and not too sweet which we loved.
FOOD: The options were in tapas like portions which encouraged us to try a bunch! All were great and we ordered quite the range for two:
PANCETTA-WRAPPED DATES & POTATOES (comes in 5 bites, rich, salty and sweet),
ARANCINO SALSICCIA E FUNGHI (one big arancino with beautiful black risotto inside and the lightest, crispest outside!),
SUPPLI (this is my vote for must order here - cheesy, lightly crisp outside, parmesan love),
FRIED POLENTA W DIPPING SAUCE (runner up best item for me and comes with two dipping sauces: a white cheesy one and a red sauce),
MEATBALLS IN SUGO (comes with chewy "crackers" to sop up the sauce, small, dense and rich), and
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA (husband's vote for runner up best item; complex flavors, delicious).
SERVICE: all orders go through the bar, so know what you want when you approach! It was easy to get the bartenders' attention, and I appreciated that when it was loud they double checked they got your order right before entering it all in. If you ordered drinks they likely will make it on the spot so hang around a bit to grab them off the bar! Otherwise food orders award you a small table number for you to bring back to your seat. Empty glasses/plates were whisked away efficiently.
SUMMARY: a hip neighborhood bar with unique drinks and excellent food. Wonderful hangout spot and will recommend friends to come visit; looking forward to trying all the options here.
Amazing vibe, friendly staff. Was packed even at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon! Cocktails were all great, and for Amaro nerds, the list is extensive. Blown away by the food - delicious little Italian small plates. I’ll be dreaming about the fried polenta.
I think if you like crowded bars it will serve you well. The front booths are lovely with the open windows to the patio. Great friendly service.. but I have to say the food was just ok, it didn't knock my socks off.
a true an utter vibe. mezcal negroni was A+ and beers were ice cold. so happy to have this in our neighborhood 🤍
