Try as it may @realmuto is just real-meh. While neighboring places crowd over into the sidewalk, this no-longer-a-newcomer has sat mostly empty of customers over the 7 plus months it has been open. A lot of money went into this Milanese-esque wannabe bakery and eatery but all the polish and pedigreed chef isn’t gonna pull customers past the makeshift clump of cheap outdoor tables into its cold soulless interiors. You want an Italia buzz and feel of any vintage but all you get is a generic food-court vibe — there is no memorable experience happening here. Factor in slow to non-existent foot traffic and that means most of the food along with those beautiful looking cakes are likely to be past their sell-by-date. Also, its recent partial redo to we-are-now-a-pizzeria-named-“Ficuzza” (sounds like F*#@!uz — really?!) is pointless, like throwing on a different dress over the same old panties.
