8.2
Chef Edoardo Baldi's intimate Tuscan hideaway draws A-listers with sweet corn agnolotti swimming in truffle butter and Dover sole prepared tableside. The cramped quarters and open kitchen create an energetic atmosphere where celebrities dine elbow-to-elbow with locals.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect if you want to impress - intimate lighting and buzz creates natural conversation, just be ready for tight quarters that force closeness
Can I get a table without a reservation? Nearly impossible - book 2-3 weeks out for prime times, or try calling day-of for cancellations after 2pm
Is it kid-friendly? Not ideal for children under 12 - no kids menu, tight space, sophisticated atmosphere better suited for adults
Best For
Better for: More authentic Tuscan than Osteria Mozza, better celebrity watching than Gjelina, truffle dishes rival Mastro's at half the price
Consider Alternatives If: You need space to spread out, want a quiet romantic dinner, or prefer modern Italian over traditional Tuscan
