Description
This Roman-style trattoria has become a favorite for those with Euro nostalgia. The simple rooms are matched by an authentically simple menu. We love the caprese (the mozz is so good we order it even when tomatoes aren’t in season); the ever-changing grilled and roasted antipasto veggies; and the tart green apple and celery salad dressed only with olive oil, fresh lemon and shavings of delicious Parmesan. Couple these starters with the warm, crusty bread and follow up with the guanciale-dotted spaghetti alla carbonara and the sage-, shallot- and duck breast–filled ravioli in tomato cream, and you can skip main courses altogether. But don’t miss the kiku, a simple and delicious baked custard and fruit dessert.
