Stumbled onto this place while searching for someplace with easy access to the Kennedy for a late night airport pickup. It was really good! Great bread, reasonable prices (higher than the website reflects) nice service and foods was delicious. Nice crowd. Owner/chef John came out to meet us before we left....I really see this as a string GNR possibility though I don't think I will get there frequently enough to be able to nominate it.
We had an antipasto with olives andarancini over an herbed ricotta (killer) and a sort of sweetly pickled cabbage with eggplant and dried cherries maybe. Wish I remembered the name of it, was so good. Husband had osso bucco. Didn't let me touch the meat but the risotto was perfect. I had a linguine with artichokes and rapini with tomato basil sauce and ricotta. It was great as well. Glass of wine was $8-12, didn't look at list for bottles.
I don't live nearby but really love to support independents....if anyone is looking to try this, I recommend highly.
