Known forJames Beard nominatedArts District anchorhard to book
A buzzy Italian-leaning restaurant from Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis that helped put the Arts District on the culinary map. The house-made charcuterie, pastas like the rigatoni with lamb sausage, and wood-fired dishes are exceptional. Reservations are notoriously hard to snag — book weeks out or try the bar walk-in.
