The theme here is rustic Italian, with rich pastas and roasted meats -- plus pizzas and panini for lighter appetites and budgets. The food is rich and robust, the pasta fresh and cooked correctly, and the service is terrific. The beverage program is a highlight: lots of interesting choices of wine by the glass, creative craft cocktails, and a big selection of amari (Italian digestifs). The one weak spot here is dessert - few choices and no plate of biscotti or cookies to go with your amari. Doesn't look like they have sprung for a pastry chef here. Otherwise, a gem downtown.
