Love this place for lunch. Dinner is amazing too but there is always an hour wait, and they don't take reservations! 15-20 min walk from the apartment. Take a car service if you're feeling tired or go there after your long day in the city by L train. Morgan stop.

Our favorite restaurant in this neighborhood. The owners Kano and Ella the chef are incredible. We recommend the Gnoccis! I love the Ribeye steak and my husband ususally orders their seafood option. Also if they have the Burratta and squid ink on the menu def get it!!! The menu changes daily! You can walk from the apartment. 3 mins tops!
