Organic fare with flair awaits at this stylish Milanese import. Part cafe, part upmarket grocery store, its virtuous bites tap all bases, including vegan cornetti (croissants), smoothies and soy-milk budini (puddings), spelt-flour pizzas and well-executed, bistro-style dishes like fregola pasta in a fish-and-crustacean soup, or stuffed calamari paired with herbed potato purée.
