Guests enter through the lively bar at the front of this storefront restaurant located in the Marina district. Cork walls, large chalkboards of wines, and a pinball game fill the casual dining area. The rear dining room features a large exhibition kitchen with a wood-burning pizza oven and is more "dressed up," although not at all formal. Prosciutto, pancetta, and other meats are cured in-house, and the rustic southern Italian menu changes several times each week.
