High-quality Italian sandwiches and pastas with strong gluten-free options and wine-bar tie-in; tasty but pricey with QR-code ordering that some dislike.

It's a solid neighborhood favorite for ingredient-driven Italian, not a destination establishment.
One caveat: QR-only ordering creates friction; a few reports of app charges without smooth assistance
