Rhythm & Spirits

Pizza, Italian, Spanish$-$$

Rhythm & Spirits’ dinner menu includes red-gravy staples such as meatballs (served atop a pool of honey-whipped ricotta under a blizzard of Parmigiano-Reggiano), pastas (spicy rigatoni, spaghetti and meatballs, cacio e pepe), and 12-inch pizzas (including one topped with buttermilk-brined fried chicken). The Spanish plates include gambas al ajillo (shrimp in saffron-garlic butter) and paella (prepared as fried balls, arancini-style). There’s a bar serving beer, wine, and cocktails, though there’s no bar seating (it’s offered in a lounge area instead).
