Description
In a space that's as pretty and comfortable as a friend's living room, partners Ilene Rosen and Sara Dima run a cozy haven of rustic food and friendly service. Belly-warming bowls of mussels steamed in a grassy broth of parsley, spinach, and cilantro are worth the effort of extracting them from their shells. Other winners include a golden rotisserie chicken served with yogurt and spicy watercress, or Faccio's pork sausage with an accompanying tomato-bread salad. In warm weather, there's a spacious patio to enjoy those reasonably priced cocktails. And though they call themselves R&D, this charming neighborhood spot has already hit its stride.
