A Little Italy gastropub Roger returned to repeatedly, with a menu that changes often, cocktails worth lingering over, and a rosemary fried chicken he called consistently satisfying alongside its cornbread and veggies.
Start with rosemary fried chicken or bourbon or whiskey cocktails, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

“Try their rosemary fried chicken. It's not overly greasy and the meat is still juicy!”
Visited about three times by this review, with a menu that changes often; bourbon and whiskey cocktails were consistently good, and the rosemary fried chicken with cornbread and veggies was a reliable order. Reservations are recommended since it's busy most weeknights.
Stay in the neighborhood
A Little Italy coffee stop for serious brewed coffee, with nitro cold brew as the dependable move and Geisha pour-over as the special occasion.
The Little Italy location of The Kebab Shop, a small local chain, where Roger has checked in nine times since 2012 and shared photos of lamb doners and a grilled salmon doner.
A Little Italy pizza-and-cocktails hall where Roger found the pizza cooked just right and the whiskey drinks on point, but the salad too salty.
