Reveler’s Hour

This date-night pasta house and wine bar has a new chef: Mariane Kolchraiber, an alum of Pineapple & Pearls. She brings experience working in Italian kitchens—from her hometown of São Paulo to Qatar and beyond—to a rotating slate of seasonal plates, but the menu hasn’t strayed too far from the six-year-old spot’s original vision. You can still get insanely good garlic knots and plenty of housemade pastas. Trust us and order the blood-orange-and-hot-honey-glazed fried half chicken, too. Also, no trip would be complete without somm/owner Bill Jensen turning you on to some of the best wines you’ve never heard of.
