Word on the street
What locals are saying
V Modern Italian, the European 'Fast Fine' concept that landed on Meeting Street in spring 2026, arrives with a Michelin-starred menu architect in chef Stefano Ciotti and handcrafted pastas from the D'Alelio family — and the room makes good on that billing: live olive tree seating, a disco ball, and DJ nights that pull the crowd from aperitivo toward close. The truffle creste finished tableside in a pecorino wheel is the signature moment, with the branzino, vodka rosa pasta, and meatballs earning consistent repeat orders. A vocal contingent finds the pasta portions thin for the ~$65 price point and suspects the scene is doing heavier lifting than the kitchen — a fair tension for a concept that opened less than two months ago.
