A Heights restaurant built around its on-site vegetable garden — handmade pastas, wood-fired cooking, and a menu that draws as much from the back-garden produce as from Italian tradition. The room is warm and unfussy; the cooking is disciplined without being formal. A James Beard semifinalist who helped define Houston's farm-to-table Italian moment. For modern Italian dining with real garden-driven sourcing in the heart of the Heights.
