The first slow deep bite of from-scratch al dente maccheroni. A satisfying chewy crispy crunch of just thick enough pizza. Rapini, slicked with garlic and grassy olive oil, its sweetness coaxed out with gentle cooking. Fire-licked lamb, as deeply pink as the banquette cushion piping. A generous slather of golden hot polenta, strewn with eight-hour ragu. A sticky sweet gelato that tingles ice cold on your tongue.
