| - I would have never found this place had I not gone looking for it, but it's definitely worth the 2 block trek off Butler St. It's back in a residential area, and did not appear to have any parking of its own (always a problem in Lawrenceville), but I managed to find a street spot without a problem on a Saturday afternoon.
The menu is an interesting mix of salads, pastas, sandwiches and main courses. The pastas looked really interesting, but I opted for a fried gnocchi appetizer and a pulled duck (yes duck!) sandwich. The gnocchis were very interesting - deep fried, so they were crispy on the outside, but almost like mashed potatoes in the middle. They were not like the potato dough gnocchis I'm used to, but they were delicious. The duck sandwich was excellent - rich and piled high with meaty duck in a lighter vinegar-based BBQ sauce. It was a nice compliment that didn't completely overwhelm the flavor of the duck.
I'm a lover of anyplace that's BYOB, as this place is.. I'll definitely be back for another go-around, next time with a bottle or two in tow.
