Amy: Highlights are the uni spaghetti, bone marrow, kale salad, and octopus & calamari. Pizzas are way too salty and soggy.
Adrian Phillips: Veal Tartare crostini, tomato salad, calamari and octopus salad, chicken gizzards are must haves. Start with a White Negroni and then hit the wines. The staff is amazing, best restaurant in LA.
Chris K: Farro salad, bone marrow, calamari, mushroom ragu, and coconut/butterscotch dessert=epic. You can thank me later.
