The Scene
Vivid ochre walls and homey touches give a rustic feel to the narrow, low-ceilinged dining room. The somewhat cramped tables are filled by a vivacious business clientele; servers linger, chat and make recommendations, but also commit sophomoric oversights.

The Food
The menu is chic Tuscan, utilizing local ingredients. Flavors are potent and broad, and the kitchen doesn't shy away from salt and oil. Pork is put to good use, in both an inventive salad of scrambled eggs and pancetta tossed with greens, and the chewy, salty "butcher's spaghetti" with pork ragu. Rare imported beans, like the big creamy varieties comprising a seven-bean salad, are a highlight. The kitchen has a sure hand with fish: Monkfish wrapped in prosciutto over escarole is quite nice, and a gentle braise amid vegetables does wonders for branzino. "Tuscan cowboy-style" ribs, braised with tomato, garlic and salt, are tender and packed with flavor.
