From the unobtrusive door, subdued lighting guides you along the corridor to a cave-like interior. Earthen walls describe an arched ceiling. The bustle of the open kitchen; the glass-walled wine cellar that is both functional and decorative; the guests assembled around a single, long table: all combine to celebrate the convivial joy of Italian dining. The simple yet refined appetisers, pasta, and wood-grilled meat dishes are meant to be shared.
