Description

Filippo Caffari, former executive chef at I Nonni, took over the former home of Fugaise and turned it into an Italian trattoria serving a whole flock of various of chicken wings. Caffari spent several decades working as a master butcher in Rome, so Butcher Block's menu is unsurprisingly meat-heavy. Wings come slathered in all sorts of sauces--the most daring preparation is the Kitchen Sink version.

    This cozy Italian inspired restaurant serves great meals and wine at reasonable prices.

There are daily and weekly specials which keeps things fresh. This is a great place.
