The wood-fired oven is the organizing principle here, turning out pizzas, proteins, and vegetables with the kind of low-key confidence that comes from caring about the grain in your dough. This is a cozy neighborhood restaurant from Kelly Whitaker, who took home a James Beard Award for Outstanding Restaurateur in 2024. Oysters and chicken-liver mousse start things off; a bottle of Lambrusco keeps things moving. It's the kind of room where nobody's trying too hard, which takes more effort than it looks.
