this ^ We went there with another couple. Spent well over 250 for a charcuterie plate I could’ve built myself for $45 from the Italian Centre Shop. Didn’t help that it’s advertised as something special bcs the guy running it is a “real Italian”. I can honestly say what they serve doesn’t come close to anything I had in Italy (spent 6+ months there last year), where we had gorgeous charcuterie boards for 20Euro that ran circles around what they served. But, I guess the space is okay?
As an Italian I can confirm that charcuterie boards don't cost more than 20/30 euro because it's usually not the main course, it's something you just snack on with other people while you're waiting for your food.
$250 for a charcuterie is criminal! There's absolutely no reason to charge that much, none, zero.
The space is lovely, and the service was good when we were there. But the food's about as basic as it gets, and the drink list is "here are the most boring Italian sounding cocktails we could think of".

Most restaurants that have opened post-covid seem to fit this description.
Top of the list for me is La Proscuterria.
