A downtown staple that’s here to stay. Come for the Mediterranean dishes, great wine, and rustic setting, and stay for the occasional sighting of a local icon.

Be drenched in old-world European elegance with art by rarely-seen contemporary Italian artists, shown at the former CBGBs punk bar turned gallery.
