Food & Drink
Kick off the evening with beautifully presented antipasti like Burrata with Heirloom Tomatoes, Fried Calamari, or rich Arancini. House-made pastas elevate the experience: try the creamy Lobster Ravioli, hearty Tagliatelle Bolognese, or the luxuriously smooth Truffle Fettuccine. Entrées are equally compelling—Branzino al Limone, Osso Buco, and Veal Saltimbocca showcase thoughtful technique and balanced flavors.

Pair your meal with selections from an extensive wine list featuring both Italian varietals and curated New World picks. Specialty cocktails like the Aperol Spritz, Negroni Sbagliato, and Limoncello Mule round out the drink menu, offering fresh and balanced variations on Italian classics.

Desserts are not to be missed — silky Tiramisu and velvety Pistachio Semifreddo close the evening on a sweet note.
