The young, noisy crowd packing this warehouse space comes here for two reasons: (1) hometown love for chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman—known for Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, just down the block—and (2) a casual menu that draws as much from Italy (pizza, Roman gnocchi) as from the American South (hush puppies, collards, pies).
Look For
Any pizza (especially cauliflower if it’s in season); “fancy” hot dogs (look for a mortadella corn dog, or boudin blanc with barbecue sauce); peanut butter pie
We Love
The outdoor bocce court, the perfect place to have a drink and work up an appetite.
