Why we like it
We keep coming back because Zafferano does the fundamentals well. It's unpretentious, the food is honest, and there's a real sense that the people running it care about doing right by their regulars. The outdoor seating makes it easy to linger over a glass of wine and watch the neighborhood move past.
