AI Summary

Chef's-table Italian where squid ink spaghetti and an open kitchen steal the show.

A polished but unpretentious CBD osteria built around an open kitchen, where chefs plate dishes in full view of chef's-table seating for a "casual fine" energy that's lively without tipping into loud.

Open kitchen with chef's-table seating where diners watch dishes plated to order; sommelier-guided wine pairing; a private dining room used for milestone celebrations; sister venue to Tipo00 next door.

Reviewers repeatedly call it authentic modern Italian, praising the pasta-making and open-kitchen technique, though several note the food leans modern Italian with a twist rather than traditional trattoria cooking.

A premium Italian price point (multiple reviewers spent $200-plus for two) with portions several describe as small. some rate it worth the craft, others feel underfed for the cost.
