City Pages Review  

"The wine list is particularly strong on unusual offerings from Mallorca, Compania, Sicily, Salento, and other such places where the world-flattening Godzilla of Merlot and Chardonnay hasn't obliterated indigenous grapes. The charcuterie plate is all killer and no filler--it's got some of the best dry salamis and sausages available in the United States; the ever-changing cheese plate is presented with all kinds of fine-dining high-style grace notes, such as a bit of Italian pear preserves infused with spicy mustard. Paper-crusted pizzas are topped with sophisticated combinations, and desserts, such as a panna cotta made with orange flower water, are often quite graceful. Sound like just the thing downtown needed? We'll toast to that."
