| - I came here for a birthday dinner (my birthday), and it was the perfect place. With relatively short notice, we were able to get a cozy little table for two at 8:30 on a Friday. Perfect! And yet, the place was certainly packed and buzzing with happy people.
The food? YUM. Warm bread started things off, which we dipped in quality olive oil and balsamic. Burrata followed and it came with apple, pear, chestnut, and rosemary. It was a light and bright starter that still felt winter appropriate.
Next, we shared the paccheri primi pasta dish with octopus, cannellini beans, pork fennel salami, tomato saffron broth. Quite al dente, but a beautiful dish. The octopus was cooked perfectly, and then costole di manzo AKA short ribs, beer, oranges, rosemary, beets and the beet greens. This was the absolute standout for me. The meat fell off the bone and I loved the multiple beet uses.
