i believe they use the same dough
We had the mushroom bruschetta
Squash blossom pizza
Cacio pepe
Clam linguine
Misticanza
One Negroni
Two sparkling waters
Pre tip. Post tax and 5 percent wellness charge
$199 for 2.
Were comped tiramisu, one serving (3 small scoops) sweet cream gelato, one serving persimmon sorbet (friend of friend worked there).
I thought the pasta portion sizes for the price were a bit small. Could be larger. Very much in the felix vein but less complexity in sauce due to the “ancient Roman” approach. Pizza was much better than felix, great chew. Mushroom bruschetta was good, but I dunno about $30 for the dish. Another pizza or pasta might have been a better play. There was this cured meat pizza coming out to every table that looked pretty crazy.
Place was popping. Lots of industry folk I recognized. I was surprised how large the space was in contrast to felix. There’s an upstairs event space, private dining room in the back and a courtyard too that’s all currently unused.

Don’t have time for a full review at the moment, but just wanted to chime in and say that I found the food to be better than Felix, the space more enjoyable, and the service more attentive. Someone mentioned small pasta portions–I thought the portions were larger than Felix, but I haven’t been in a while, so I could be misremembering. This place is already operating on all cylinders. We ordered:
Stuffed squash blossoms - A+
Croquettes - A+
Amatriciana - A+
Carbonara - A-
Diavola Pizza - A
Lamb Chops - A++++++++
I’ll be back soon.
SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

psa, get the mortadella foldie.
this needs more love, best thing I’ve had on the menu. I think I only saw one order come out of the kitchen the last time I was there.

This place was everything advertised. The foldie is indeed awesome. It’s less than half the cost of top shelf omakase in this town - helps me justify eating here.

Dang maybe in a couple of weeks if I can secure a reservation
They seem to have walkins available at 530, for those that cannot get rezzies.

Just noticed on Resy that the restaurant has availability tonight at some prime times if anyone wants to nab one.

A couple new things on the menu. I wanted to point out the 10/10 panzanella, cinnamon toast crunch gelato, and budino that absolutely smashes Mozza’s budino.
Yelp dessert menu - you want that budino.

Which pasta is that?
The bucatini. It was fine but paled in comparison to the vongole that is now off menu.
the panzanella is also at felix and it’s incredible

Budino better than mozza!?!?? Damn I have to check that out
Personally I’ll take butterscotch over chocolate. Though I guess that’s Chi Spacca.
It’s the accouterments that really make the difference.
