Editorial Review
The awning of this tiny lunchtime gem promises “vegetarian magic,” and chef-owner Roberto Granata’s wizardry at conjuring hearty southern Italian fare has converted even devoted carnivores into regular customers. Onions and garlic get checked at the door along with the meat, yet Granata summons remarkable flavour from a few simple ingredients. For example, a fluffy and fragrant wedge of saffron risotto pie is enchanting with its stringy layer of melted mozzarella, chunks of red pepper and pool of perfect marinara. Other daily features might include breaded eggplant panini: a good effort of thin and crisp whole wheat flatbread with mozza, fresh basil and more marinara, but the eggplant ends up tasteless and mushy. Desserts, such as a thick slice of wild blueberry pie, finish things off nicely. Cooking classes offered.
