"Expect the unexpected at this dual Bywater restaurant, and that goes for its surprising expertise when it comes to pasta. There might be a creamy vegan mac and cheese made with cashew cream and cashew chorizo; gnocchi with blue cheese sauce, beet puree, and candied walnuts; a squid ink pappardelle with spicy Gulf shrimp; or a dish of rice cakes with smoked squash and mapo tofu. However outlandish the combination might read on the menu, it comes together beautifully every time." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
