This tiny trattoria dishes up the good stuff with a constantly fluctuating prix-fixe menu. Owner Samuel Migalizi adds a touch of soul from his native Sicily to a menu so delectable even the local art crowd will stomp out their cigarettes to feast in this non-smoking bistro. The daily one-for-all pickings typically include a savory appetizer, never-greasy thin crust pizza (touted by some as the best in the city), pasta, dessert and grappa digestive.

It’s enough grub to fill up on for days, but the seasonal ingredients eliminate any of the heavy residue: pasta is garnished with fresh tomatoes, roquette and “real” mozzarella. A lively haunt for its loyal following, Sale e Pepe brings another powerful ingredient to the table: jovial service. Salute!
