| - Falls short...
Which is too bad, because the place is really likable. The location is nice, the ambience is nice, the menu is nice, and everyone is so nice. To expand on the menu, it really is an eclectic mix of non-traditional dishes and some hipster flair. Ox tail, bone marrow, etc. I can deal with all this, and you should branch out when you can.
The strong concept ends up with the execution just okay. The menu has side salads ($9), pasta, entrees, and pizza. On my two visits, I tried a special with pork and Brussel Sprouts, and spaghetti with clams the last. The spaghetti was homemade and delicious (and plentiful, what looked like a pound) but only featured 10-12 small clams for all the pasta. Tasty, yes, but not proportioned well. My coworker got veal and it was slightly dry and in his words "just okay". I'll have to scour special deals and the pizza menu if I come back.
Additionally, don't be fooled by the $$ rating. It's a $$$ (but the pizza is $$).
