Conceivably there's no clear-cut reason that this logo, which might be a fitting backdrop for the charcuterie station, is posted so near the bagno. Given the quiet grace of the staff, however, perhaps it's a wink at patrons who've been little piggies themselves. Can you name this restaurant? (Please post your answer in the comments.)



Fetta Sau?

You've got the animal right, but not the ambience. Think cloth napkins, not paper.

Spotted Pig ?
(at first I thought St. John, London)

St. John? I could only wish I'd been back. Spotted Pig, occasional host to St. John's Fergus Henderson? No, this restaurant is spotless, the logo and the public areas both. I trust that the boys with the clipboards — who were inspecting the kitchen during my visit but holding up the line hardly at all — found little amiss, either.

How about Dickson's Farmstand then? OINK!

Maialino it is — the Roman-style restaurant whose name means "piglet," "little pig," or "suckling pig" in Italian.
