I live and work in the area, so I've been coming here at least twice a month for a couple of years. Why?
-Amazing and consistent food.
-Great buck an ounce wine. Both the red and white are very drinkable.
My faves: The Polipo or Cavolo Nero as a starter. And my go-to main, depending on my mood, is either the burger, salmon or steak. The BF always, always orders the Bucatini al Ragu, while my vegetarian friends swear by the Mafalde ai Funghi pasta.
It can get a little loud during lunch and dinner, but it's not because of blaring music, which helps.
My only wish is that they'd offer grilled calamari as a side option for the salads, the same way they do at sister resto Trattoria Nervosa. Then again, Nervosa doesn't offer buck an ounce wine...
