This bustling neighborhood favorite comes from Jackson’s very own Chef Chaz Lindsay, who grew up in the area and also runs the bar across the street. Fit with a spacious patio, the welcoming space is dressed in white tile, long booths, and wood accents. Nobody will struggle to find something to order because there’s plenty to savor on this creative Italian-American menu. Caesar salad is a house favorite, as are the pork and ricotta meatballs set in a rich tomato gravy. Pastas like the bucatini alla gricia are made in-house. When available, the very shareable roasted pork chop is a must-order that arrives perfectly tender and paired with pancetta sauce and tzatziki.
