Chefs/owners Spencer White and Alex Figura have a background in fine dining, but this popular fast-casual concept thrives on an accessible, laid-back format. Creativity and a clear understanding of flavor go hand in hand on a small, seasonal menu, with house-made forming the centerpiece of the operation (both literally and figuratively—a pasta production table is visible at the heart of the kitchen), from tradition-adjacent mafaldine cacio e pepe, boosted with pink peppercorn, to totally iconoclastic combinations like casarecce with shrimp, dill and toasted parmesan.
