The dishes people come back for.
A short, seasonal menu, but these never leave.

Slow-cooked beef and pork over hand-rolled ribbons. The dish that put us on the map.

Calabrian chili and soppressata, blistered in the wood oven.
Wild mushroom risotto
Parmesan, truffle oil, finished tableside.
Burrata della casa
Stone fruit, olive oil, sea salt, and bread from the morning bake.
By the glass
Fourteen natural wines from small growers.
Tiramisu
The classic, made to order, dusted at the table.

Finds the small growers nobody else pours.
Regulars say it best.
The tagliatelle al ragu is the best I've had outside Bologna. We come back monthly.

A tiny room with a huge heart. The wood-fired pizzas are blistered perfection.
