The wait:
Got in line outside at 4:40 pm on a Friday, and the host was already talking to people. The two of us spoke to the to host around 5 mins later and he gave us the option of dining at 5 PM or 7:45 PM; we chose the latter and grabbed a drink in the neighborhood. Ultimately they didn't seat us until 8:05 PM but what can you do lol.
The food:
Farfallone with calabrian chili butter and smoked pancetta was absolutely incredible. Also loved the beef carpaccio with leeks and sicilian anchovies, and wild arugula with pear walnuts and cheese salad. Tiramisu was great, too. Also had the gnocchetti sardi with shrimp, zolfini beans, and herb butter, but it wasn't totally memorable, so would try other dishes next time.
The verdict:
Overall loved. Would come back with a reservation next time (or would just eat at 5 to avoid the 3-hour wait). read more
