Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Amy Brandwein
From the OpenTable editors: Nearly a decade into its run, this refined osteria continues to be a sought-after table thanks to its easygoing vibe and chef Amy Brandwein’s housemade pastas that spotlight seasonal, mid-Atlantic ingredients. It's easy to linger over shareable antipasti, refreshing cocktails, and pitch-perfect wines in the lively space.
