TATLER SAYS

The Fleming Road off-ramp is about as far from the Italian seaside—both geographically and atmospherically—as possible, and the sleek, modern décor belies the rustic essence of the limited yet deliberate menu, but this is a little piece of the Amalfi Coast nevertheless. Start with a plate of melt-in-your-mouth crudo—the delicate sea bass prosecco, topped off with the bubbly stuff at your table, is a signature dish for a reason. Share a pasta or two if you’re really hungry, then order one of the several fish of the day on offer, cooked to your liking in one of a variety of styles. Pair with a glass of wine from the almostexclusively Italian list, with a little help from the patient, well-versed sommelier. Don’t miss the lemon-zestastic sorbet, one of the best in recent memory.

SIGNATURE DISHES

• Tartare di Mazzancolle

• Chitarra

• Branzino acqua pazza

TATLER TIP

Ask the sommelier what the wine special is: you might be able to try single glasses of by-the-bottle offerings.
