Concierge.com's insider take:
This tiny tapas joint, in the out-of-the-way Villeray neighborhood, is a food-lover's dream—the place where locals bring out-of-town friends to impress them (and Gourmet editor-in-chief Ruth Reichl's favorite restaurant in the city). The broccoli rabe with garlic (cost, $5!) is so crisp and flavorful, it's awe-inspiring. Some dishes, such as sardine fillets with fennel, rival plates you might taste at Chez Panisse. Others, like chorizo or gambas a la plancha, combine pristine ingredients with supremely confident preparation so that they seem straight out of an Andalusian eatery. The wine list is simple, well-priced (the most expensive bottle is $100), and full of specialties that you've been trying to find for years. A must visit.
Closed Sundays and Mondays. No lunch on Saturdays.
