The same way that Mario Batali, the orange-clogged superstar chef, conquered Italy with Babbo and Lupa, he does so with Spain with this intimate, inventive, modern-rustic, wine-washed tapas eatery. The rotund Batali riding around town on his little Vespa scooter is a perfect analogy for this restaurant: It packs so much (flavor, food, price, people) into such a small vehicle.
