The Name
A bib is a promise.
Bavaglino is the little bib an Italian grandmother ties on you before the sauce arrives. It isn't an apology — it's permission. Twirl the rigatoni, fold the pizza, lean over the plate.
The rest of the promise is the staircase. Tables sit directly on the steps of Saint Nicolas, candles at your ankles, string lights overhead, the city going quiet below you. Nobody arrives here by accident.
