There’s something about this corner restaurant that makes it look so inviting—and sure enough, the moment you step inside you feel enveloped in the warm embrace of the bright, southern European sun. That’s not just down to the light, open feel of the large room, but also because of the charming service team. This may be the baby sister of Gemma restaurant, but the menu here looks to the wider Mediterranean for its influences, stretching from Morocco to Syria and round to Italy, France, and Spain. Dishes like octopus with freekeh and lamb with gigante beans are as colorful and appealing as they are satisfying and nourishing. If you can’t get a table—and the booths are much demanded—you can try your luck at the large counter bar.
