I would suggest terroni and Quanta Basta (my current fav neighborhood spot). Terroni has a proper patio as opposed to the make shift version by QB.
I haven’t heard much about Sash though I did enjoy the chef way back when he was at North 44. Again a make shift patio though not as effected by the street traffic as QB
Thanks! Turns out she ate at the airport so we had coffee on the Zaza Espessso patio on Cumberland, around 9 am. She also had a gelato. LOL.
I was a frequent Terroni diner from 2014-2016, with one circle of friends. Something in their kitchen gives me hives so I haven’t been back over the past 2.5 y.
Cappocaccia is decent as well though its more towards St. Clair IMO. I enjoyed the pizza and pasta dishes there. I have tried them a few times as well.
