Stop by this great little restaurant during the day and you'll love the simple yet authentic Italian breakfast and lunch options. For a true Italian, this is heaven. When dinnertime rolls around, the place turns into the amazing new place you tell your friends about, but secretly don't want them to go to because it's so good and you want it all to yourself. Try the mushroom caponata with beets, pine nuts and zabaglione, the octopus with cannelloni beans, basil and potato or the fazzoletti with preserved citrus, oregano, chili, and bottarga. It's also a BYOB, so don't forget your favorite beverage.
