Main courses such as Mary’s chicken “under a brick” and panzanella budino goes for $24 while porchetta with sprouting broccoli comes in limited quantities for $25.


A weekday lunch and weekend brunch are coming soon.

The restaurant has room for 50 diners with patio seating at the front and rear opening this spring.
