The osteria
A red door on Melrose.
-
Made in the kitchen, not bought in
Pasta, sauces and dolci are prepared in house. The bolognese is pork, veal and sausage; the lasagna is built on meat crêpes.
-
A wall of wine
Bottles racked from the counter to the ceiling behind the bar, with the house plaque set into the middle of it.
-
Built to travel
The same kitchen, the same plates, packed for the drive. Delivery and pickup both run straight from the ordering page.

On Melrose since long before the block changed
5732 Melrose Avenue — the red corner with the black sign, a few doors east of the 5600 block.
