Slow food, two grandmothers, one kitchen.
A nine-table neighborhood spot where Mexican comfort meets Northern-Italian quiet. We make our own pasta and our own tortillas. Mostly we make people feel like they ate at their abuela's.

Two grandmothers, one kitchen.
Mira left Puebla in 1972 with a recipe for mole negro and three small children. Roque left Bologna a year earlier with a rolling pin and his mother's pasta book. They met working the line at a hotel in Chicago.
We are their granddaughters. The menu is what they cooked at home — the slow stuff, the patient stuff, the dishes that don't really make sense on a restaurant menu but make perfect sense at a kitchen table.
We change the menu when something good is in season. We close on Mondays so the kitchen can rest.
