Restaurant, cowering space and community with a diverse team and menu. They are passionate about immigrant rights, and the menu includes dishes from all over the world. The Iraqi-style Tawa Kebab was delicioso and the Senegalese Mafe is one of their most popular dishes.
Culture: No Mafia Museum
This museum is free. Many photos are donated and the whole thing is run by volunteers. It’s clear that Mafia violence was very impactful in this region, and there are a lot of people passionate about sharing the real history, and preventing the romanticization of it. The exhibit is in Italian and English.
