Why We Like It

It’s the Mediterranean sister (and next-door neighbor) to Alta Calidad, serving dishes like mezze with housemade bread, merguez-stuffed manti pasta, and swordfish with saffron aioli. Expect service that’s as warm as their wood-burning oven, from which you should order whatever comes out.

Need to Know

Located near the corner of Vanderbilt Avenue and Dean Streets, right next door to Wayward Fare's sister restaurant, Alta Calidad.

Our bar is always first come first serve. If you don't see availability online, feel free to stop in and try to snag a bar seat in front of our beautiful wood fire oven!
