dell'anima means "of the soul" in Italian and the food features seasonal, eloquent dishes of thoughtful simplicity , including bruschetta and fresh pastas made in-house daily by Executive Chef Andrew Whitney. The wine list features more than 150 hand-chosen wines, with an emphasis on traditional and natural winemaking, with more selections at their wine bar Anfora located next door, all of which are poured into hand-blown crystal glasses from Milan. This tiny and dare we say it "carino" Italian restaurant appeals to a rich diversity of an upscale crowd and foodies who vie for prime seating at the chef's counter to nibble on some of that charred octopus or pulpo with rice, beans and chorizo, Whitney's original vision of "downtown Italian."
