The Design District isn’t known for its plentiful dining options, which makes this stylish addition all the more welcome. Enter through a greenery-ringed courtyard into a pared-down dining room with an easygoing vibe—don’t expect white-glove service here. What you will find, happily, is thoughtful cooking featuring top-notch ingredients, blending Chef Dustin Falcon’s fine dining training with Italian-American favorites from his childhood in New Jersey. Fried burrata with fra diavolo sauce and pistachio pesto is a lofty take on mozzarella sticks, and house-made pastas like paccheri alla vodka and pillowy honeynut squash agnolotti attest to the kitchen’s skill. The cocktail program, featuring an on-brand botanical bent, is worth sampling, whether at lunch or dinner.
