Hellodali (aka Dimitra) and I have had long-standing plans to meet for a drink at Natalino’s, a new West Town Italian spot. Even though it hasn’t been open that long, Natalino’s has already garnered a following as the neighborhood place for generous bar pours as well as above-average, inventive Italian food (not to mention an amusingly “eclectic” playlist). In it’s short life, it has also been the subject of local lore, as the windows were shot out by a pellet gun prior to opening (this is confirmed), allegedly due to the restaurant luring a chef away from another restaurant (this is unconfirmed).
Anyhow, we thought it would be fun to open this up to LTH. If you care to join us, you can post below if you want. We mean for this to be an impromptu, informal get-together, so you can just show up as well. We’ll be there at 6:00 pm this Wednesday, May 14th.
See you then!
