We got to try the latest from the Andros crew - a pasta joint just next door. We are lucky to eat some delicious pasta around our side of town regularly (Daisies, Antico) but this is a cut above, and it is especially notable that they're focused on pasta (no secondi, or maybe one a night on special) and that they're aiming for perfect classics rather than new fangled combos. Really tremendous execution like bolognese, agnolotti, and a truly special crab taglioni with the butteriest generous mound of crab amid perfect subtly spicy savory tomato noodles. Great squash blossoms, caesar, calamari, and a relic from a bygone era: complimentary bread service (very nice foccacia). Cozy interior with good sound control for how full it was. Gladly returning soon.
