Restaurateur Massimo Lusardi (Uva) and chef Mark Barrett (Babbo) showcase the cuisine of Italy at this 64-seat canteen, decorated with brass light fixtures and a cherrywood mantel. The menu draws inspiration from all over the country, featuring dishes like fennel-flecked white shrimp, carrot-and-chive tagliatelle and scallops with sunchoke puree. Musically themed cocktails by Sean McClure (Craft) nod to the spot’s former tenant, O. Pagani & Bros. record store: The Victrola Spritz is named after an antique music player, while the Beach-Bum uses a Jamaican rum by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.
