From a chef who spent years in five-star restos across Europe before raking in awards slinging artisanal 'za in Cambridge, Tiella's named for "a cast iron pan that acts as a cornerstone of Neapolitan cuisine", exactly what'll be served in the 38-seat exposed brick sliver; minimalist decor deets include Italian oak floors, cozily-spaced dark wooden tables/chairs, and a small back bar for meantime tippling, perfect for those Waiting for Bordeaux. Small plates include four specialty tiellas -- essentially pan-baked pizzas made w/ different dough -- with toppings like mixed seafood & buffala mozz, prosciutto/foie, and soft goat cheese w/ bottarga, plus more traditional joints including oven-roasted scallops w/ pecorino, and a meat & cheese platter served w/ fruit mustard, the very aspersion that led to the Colonel gettin' all murdery. Signature pastas run from papardelle w/ lobster-tomato sauce, to black ink fettucinne with scallops/chanterelles, to shrimp/butternut squash/mint risotto, while more meat-driven fare's repped by balsamic vinegar'd branzino w/ grilled eggplant, and veal scaloppini w/ radicchio and melted smoked mozz, a cheese that's totally content to sit there eating itself.
