Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Chef/Owner John Carver

From the OpenTable editors: It can take months to get into Chef John Carver’s wildly popular Italian restaurant, where there’s a custom woodfired grill at the heart of the industrial space. But it’s worth the wait for fresh pasta and epic steaks, like the cappelletti “bishop’s hats” stuffed with spinach and sauced with brown butter, alongside a 50-day dry-aged porterhouse “la Fiorentina.” Don’t miss the charred veggies, like roasted vine tomatoes with creamy burrata, and wash it all down with a house negroni.

    First time: Made reservations about two months in advance— the place was packed! Everyone was either celebrating something or spending time with loved ones. A great atmosphere! The food was outstanding, a great selection of wines and liquors at the bar. Service was faster than expected, especially considering how busy the place was. Reasonable prices all-around and excellent experience from the staff and the atmosphere.

    I didn't see any capes, but I'm fairly certain that Emma and Alexa behind the bar are super heroes. Drink and food recommendations were on point. It was like they could read my mind. Or the needs of my belly, which can be exhaustive and fickle. Go there, because I said so.

    All was great as always!!! The food was excellent and our server, Amanda was amazing!!! We only wish we could have sat upstairs or the other area - not the bar booths. We also wish it wasn’t so hard to get in. Never any availability at all when we check:( Love this place and would like to go more!

    we were not happy with the sitting arrangments. if i can move my elbow and hit the person next to me, i feel violated. we were looking for a dinner between the two of us, and ended with others at the same table, plus their friends spiitting down my neck visiting and talking loud.

    The food and service was outstanding. The octopus appetizer was amazing. The dishes were all made with homemade pasta, delicious bread, and tasty sauces. We had 4 different entrees and we loved all of them. Even thought the portions size was large, we devoured two deserts as well, the tiramisu and apple pie. Top it off with some great cocktails and a super helpful waiter, and it was a perfect night.
