Got lunch on a Saturday afternoon & was able to get a walk-in with no problem.
Got the eggplant sandwich & my friend got the trout entree. The eggplant sandwich was delicious.
Think of a lightly fried eggplant / ratatouille ‘patty.’ I really enjoyed it.
The trout was also very tender, not dry at all.
The tapenade was also a great touch.
Would come back here again, albeit a bit cramped for a party of 2 if it gets busy.

Second visit and another incredible dining experience.
Had the amazing crudo (again) and let the chef pick the appetizers (see photo).
Porchetta was excellent.
The service was great - they are so nice there! Third visit had the delicious trout with an olive compote on top.
This doesn’t “sound” good at all but it’s an incredible dish.
The trout is farmed so theres a lot of tasty meat on the fish.
Shell pasta dish was very good.
Service slipped a notch as we were pressured to leave despite no one needing our seats.
Very Brooklyny place.

Wandered into this place last week for dinner after a busy day and immediately felt a wave of relaxation from the vibe in here.
Dim, but light enough to read the menu.
Bustling with lively conversation and even a couple of well mannered children.
We started with an antipasto meat and cheese spread which was very nice.
For my entree I opted for the risotto which was fabulous.
However, my partner ordered the chicken, which I tried a nibble and knew it was love at first bite.
We came back last night and both of us ordered that chicken.
It is juicy, tender, cooked just right and sits in the most spectacular little wading pool of carrot puree.
Rucola is a gem, and I am sure we will be back for another round of their to die for chicken.
