I love this place mostly because of the space. It seems to be a old gas station that has been retrofitted with see-through garage doors. The space is light, serene, spacious, relaxing.

It seemed full of neighborhood regulars, and everyone seemed to be ordering the potatoes.

Appealing Italian lunch options included antipasti, pastas (carbonara was good), fritatas, pizza, steak, swordfish. The potatoes are the best thing here: crunchy, chunky, golden, unique.

Grade: B+
