Arguably one of the best Italian restaurants in the city is temporarily closed for dine-in at present, but the good news is that it is offering curbside pick-up from 3 to 7 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays; and from 3 to 6 p.m. on Sundays. The menu changes weekly but expect to find family style dinners that serve one meal for 4 or two meals for 2 for around $100. Recent options included gnocchi with beef short rib with arugula beet, feta and pistachio salad, house-made bread and tiramisu. The restaurant also features a vegetarian dinner ($80) as well as freshly baked rustic breads ($10) house-made charcuterie platters ($30), fresh pasta ($12 per pound) and six packs of meatballs with tomato sauce ($20).
