Profile

So much vibrancy and warmth issues from both the kitchen and the personable, passionate staff that owner Andrew Chapman has coordinated, that August feels like a local taverna along the Mediterranean. From the wood oven come two enticing variations on pizza: Alsatian onion tart with bacon and an ooze of crème fraîche, and a darker, crackling crust supporting a mélange of spinach, artichokes, pine nuts, and currants. Entrées, though less spirited, offer the balminess that suffuses a seaside vacation. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Monthly Celebrations
