Staple & Fancy

4.6 (731) $$$$ $$$$ Italian, Modern

Description

Summary: Italian cuisine in a historic venue for a communal dining experience.

Staple & Fancy is nestled in a historic building, offering a cozy ambiance that perfectly complements its modern Italian cuisine. The intimate interior features original brick walls and reclaimed wood, creating a stylish yet rustic atmosphere. With 45 seats, most of which allow diners to view the open kitchen, guests can watch as the skilled staff prepares simple, yet sophisticated dishes. While the restaurant has an à la carte menu, the highlight is the four-course family-style prix-fixe dinner, which promises a surprise selection of small dishes. The menu is adventurous, featuring items like rabbit terrine, fried oysters, and gnocchi with braised short ribs. The experience is rounded off with a well-curated, though high-end, wine list and desserts like ricotta cheesecake or berry tart.
