Consistently high quality food and service at this neighborhood gem. Thank goodness the food trendies haven't discovered this place because it is relatively easy to get a table. It's sister restaurant, Melograno, is equally as good but more well known.

Solid spot in graduate hospital district. The food is consistent, flavorful, and seasoned as it should be. Service is excellent. House made pasta, roman style pinsa, fresh seafood, innovative antipasti/primi courses. Would recommend to anyone looking for quality cooking with a down to earth neighborhood vibe.
