chk pls:

$84 w/tip, 2 people, $42/person

i've dined here past 2am around 30 times. always gentle prices for the quality and quantity of food. i ordered way too much on this particular visit. usually breaks down to $25-30/person including a bottle of wine and tip.

from the menu:

• truffle egg toast w/bottarga (thick toast w/egg in the middle)
  
• heritage foods wagyu beef bollito (beef sandwich)
  
• polpette (meatballs)
  
• gamberoni (shrimp wrapped in bacon)
  
• glass of salice salentino, negroamaro

notes:

• excellent small dishes and panini
• big wine list w/several good reds in the $35-50 range
  
• service is consistently good
  
• few items on the menu changed after the exec chef left to man bar milano. avoid the new polenta
