Make your reservation here for a Tuesday evening when the restaurant is abuzz with live jazz. Energetic tunes pair perfectly with Italian fare and a great wine list: try an antipasti board (a rotating selection of salami, prosciutto and Italian cheese), any of the fresh pasta dishes, Matt’s porchetta and, to finish, a creamy, espresso-tinged tiramisu. 

The extensive menu is packed with delicious dishes – great news if you and your dining partner like to share. Start your dinner with dumplings, taking your pick between soup, barbeque pork, Teochew-style deep-fried beef, or steamed pork and vegetables. From here, choose from a selection of fried rice and noodles; pork, beef, chicken and seafood dishes ranging from sweet and sour to generously spicy; and a side or two of vegetables to round out the meal. 

This newcomer to the downtown will bring elegance to your special night out. Leather banquettes line the perimeter of the dining room, each creating an intimate space for you and whomever you're sharing your meal with. The menu hits all the high notes, with starters including crispy arancini and grilled lamb sausage; tastes of the sea including oysters, an abundant seafood tower or spicy shrimp diavolo; comfort food like hearty pasta, pizza or a perfectly cooked steak; and decadent desserts like gelati or a chocolate torte.
