La Villa

From a self-professed "wine hog" and her two Italian-focused partners, Villa is the latest addition to their Trulli/ Buon Appetito/ Sogno DiVino empire, featuring a transparent-shelved wraparound bar running interference between the indoor dining room and the first alfresco area, a second mural-scrawled outdoor eating space in the back, and a standalone kitchen, which houses a 12-seat chef's table.
