I'm not a coffee connoisseur to the extent that some of my friends are, but I do love a nice espresso or press every morning.

I really enjoy the breads and pastries from this bakery. In my opinion they outstrip anything else around here, including the revered (tho I am never sure why) Julien's.
I buy primarily from the market location and have never been disappointed by an…More »

Want to know why you should go here? Because they sell olive oil that is as good as you get  from a Sicilian who makes it from their own olives outside Palermo. I really mean this. Italians told me I didn't know about olive oil and I thought they…More »

Went with my partner. Ordered the tasting menu (The Drill). Effing near died and went to heaven.

It would take me a week to write about each morsel that was served, and then I would just want to go back again right this moment..

So go. Trust this…More »

Lovely afternoon and lovely outdoor seating.
