Tiny hole in the wall Italian restaurant right next door to the Usual. BYOW (bring your own wine)! This place is tiny and it is often hard to get a seat or table, but it is well worth the wait.

Live music and a rooftop seating area. What more could you ask for? The ambiance of the lit tree as you sit on a bench sipping a beverage on top of a roof is unforgettable. Try the Patty Melt!
