The Scene
This exposed-brick eatery, which seats only 25, is the West Village's answer to the perfect Italian countryside pit stop. It ought to be perfect, considering its lineage: Owners are the husband-and-wife team of Jason and Jennifer Denton, who are better known for partnering with Mario Batali to open Lupa. The restaurant is open until 2am, making it a great spot for a late-night snack.
The Food
The menu includes lovingly made renditions of panini, bruschetta and tramezzini (cocktail-style sandwiches with fillings like tuna with black olive pesto and bresaola with arugula), along with a roster of cured meats, cheeses and olives that have been imported from Italy. The fresh crusty breads, meanwhile, come all the way from neighboring Blue Ribbon Bakery.

I like the food and selections. Good wine to match them too. However, I had the worst service ever. The waiter just ignore you and was kinda discriminative towards colored customers! I was ultimately offended. If you're an eater who cares about the service, you'll not enjoy your meal!

This little hole in the wall restaurant is so yummy- i always find a friend to go with, and we mix & match our orders... definitely keeps my foodie writer friend happy as well.

A super tiny place with a healthy following, so it can be tough to get a seat without waiting a while. I love ordering several varieties of bruschetta, especially the taleggio and sun dried tomato pesto, asparagus, truffle oil, parmesan, and the goat cheese and fennel. Sandwiches are delicious as well. Service is decent, atmosphere is nice - exposed brick, dark lighting, etc
