On the menu this month

A handful of small plates, three mains, two desserts. We rewrite it on the first Tuesday of each month.

01

Small plates

Charred sourdough, whipped ricotta, market salad. To share, or not — we don't judge.

02

Pasta & mains

House pappardelle, slow-braised short rib, line-caught fish of the day.

03

Wine & cocktails

Mostly natural, mostly European. A reliably-good house red by the glass.

04

Desserts

Olive oil cake, dark chocolate semifreddo. Coffee from the roaster on Bleeker.

Marina plating at the pass

Cooked by Marina, who learned in Liguria.

We opened in 2019 with the idea that a neighbourhood restaurant should feel like one. Most of our suppliers are within 50 miles. The fish guy knows our names. The menu shifts because the seasons do — there's no point promising you a fig in February.

  • New menu the first Tuesday of each month
  • Most suppliers within a 50-mile radius
  • Dietary requirements adapted on request
  • Wine list updated quarterly

Felt like eating at a friend's house — if the friend went to cooking school in Italy and had a better wine fridge.

Before you visit

Do you take reservations?+

Yes — bookings open at midnight on the first of each month. The bar is always walk-in.

Can you do dietary requirements?+

Tell us when you book. We can usually adapt two-thirds of the menu for gluten-free, vegetarian, or pescetarian.

Is the room kid-friendly?+

Children are welcome until 8pm. No kids' menu, but the kitchen will gladly do something simple.

Where do you source from?+

Produce from the Greenmarket on Tuesdays and Saturdays, fish from the dock buyer we've used since opening, bread from the bakery up the block.
