Food scene
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.
