Whether it's espresso at the front bar, cheese from the deli or long-and-lazy Italian feasting in the sunken dining room, Il Buco's trendier spin-off delivers the goods. Brickwork and giant industrial lamps set a hip, rustic tone, echoed in the menu. The lunchtime panini are huge, decadent and divine: try the porchetta with fried eggs, salsa verde and arugula ($18).
