The à la carte menu encourages sharing and carries a vast selection of homemade breads and pastas, cured meats and small plates. Highlights include the baccala cakes, which are crispy outside and moist on the inside, and accented with a sea urchin sabayon. A house speciality is the homemade tagliatelle cooked nicely al dente with duck ragu and foie gras. The grilled grass-fed beef sirloin tagliata is well-seasoned and served on a bed of spinach with olives and capers. Finish off the meal with the mango calamansi cheesecake, which has just the right balance of sweet and sour.
