This grander, more elaborate restaurant is built on the foundation established over the past two years by the chef Salvo Lo Castro’s string of Italian coffee shops. A dramatic entrance with an onyx bar, framed with lemon and olive trees, defines the dining room. The Sicilian chef’s deep experience in Italy informs a menu of classics like truffled beef carpaccio, paccheri pasta with guanciale and pistachios, sole with mint, tomatoes and olives, and osso buco. His arrival in the United States in 2022 inspired his dessert of apple pie with ice cream. There’s a small balcony where Aperol spritzes are served.
