This fresh concept from Ravi DeRossi and Overthrow Hospitality brings Chef Amira Gharib to the helm, with Drew Brady as wine director. The name is derived from Italy's tradition of hand-crafted sodas, and its spirit from USA's turbulent Prohibition era. Pass the entry sign to arrive at this mini haven, replete with a mighty vintage vibe—think velvet chairs, gleaming copper accents and stained glass lamps.
On the menu, house-made pastas are a focus. There are also natural wines to accompany the seasonal, deftly executed vegan dishes. Toasted focaccia served in a miso bagna cauda is an umami-rich bite, tailed by tagliatelle tossed with nori "butter" sauce and broccoli rabe. Date cake with vanilla "gelato" gets a hit of black salt for delicious complexity.
