Exceptional 'hole in the wall' Italian Trattoria. Great Coffee, Pastries, Paninis & Pastas. No restroom, no tax , no liquor license, no BYOB, no delivery, no reservations - plenty of 'no's' but much to recommend. I like it best in the mornings for a doppio espresso & crostatine pastry accompanied by Lillo's choice of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra playing in the background.

In my opinion the best restaurant in the neighborhood & a 5 minute walk from the apartment. I love sitting @ the bar watching the chef's preparing your meal - in particular the Ivorian pasta chef cooks with style.
