Profile

A new BYOB has taken up residence on what had long been Pumpkin territory, the 1600 block of South Street. From the tiny open kitchen comes a Mediterranean menu heavy on well-executed Italian fare — calamari tossed in a balsamic and cherry pepper reduction; house-made porcini ravioli covered in a silky cream sauce. But it’s Morocco native chef Hassan Zanzoul’s tagines that rule any meal here. A recent iteration of this traditional Moroccan stew, named for the clay pot used in its preparation, featured meltingly tender short ribs in a broth of sweet peas and artichoke hearts.
