Came here for a meet up with a friend last week. The place is kinda funny. It has been around forever (my friend had worked here 10 years ago). It reminds me of some of the casual restaurants of my youth, right down to the booths and the fresh bread on the table.
I had a fancy cocktail (whiskey and vanilla) and Putanecsa Pasta with black olives, sardines, capers and tomato sauce. It is a classic recipe and this interation was served the way it would have been at most places 10 years ago. A giant portion with lots of sauce. It was very competently done , but not anything amazing.
I have mixed feelings about this place. It seemed well...dated. It has a giant menu, and seems to be trying to do a lot of things. Maybe a bit of focus on the classics and on the bruch buffet.
