It’s been very difficult for us to not visit this place nearly every day since its opening in August. The second location of a restaurant that originated in Naples, it’s a wonderful addition to St. Pete’s previously restaurant-devoid 600 Block. Menu items (all vegan and grain-free; don’t tell anyone) are works of art, especially the pad Thai, with “noodles” made from shredded zucchini, jicama and kelp, perfectly spicy. Sandwiches are made on gluten-free see-based bread (we recommend the BLT, made with eggplant bacon). Daily specials are particularly clever.
