Rebel chef-owner Melissa Perello earned a Michelin star for fine dining, then ditched downtown to start this market-inspired neighborhood bistro. Daily menus showcase rustic flavors and luxurious textures with impeccable technique – handmade ricotta malfatti pasta with buttery squash and crunchy pepitas, juicy pork chops with blood orange and earthy Japanese sweet potatoes – plus cult wine served by the ounce, directly from Wine Country.
