"The whole menu revolves around arrosticini, those slender Abruzzese skewers cooked over charcoal and meant to be eaten fast. There are lamb and wagyu options, and both are properly good: deeply savoury, nicely charred, and served with dips."
"Beyond the skewers, the crushed smoked potato topped with raw tuna is unmissable. It's the kind of dish that makes you instantly order a second round."
"Wine is a big part of the draw. It's all low-intervention with small producers and Italian varieties dominating the list, with five by-the-glass options and a rotating magnum to keep things interesting."
"It's a little different. It might be Italian, but the focus on charcoal grilling and unique dishes sets it apart from traditional Italian dining experiences."
