Gift Tips
- Start with the mozzarella burrata appetizer — it’s frequently singled out for its fresh flavor and makes a lovely shared starter.
- Try the bucatini boscaiola or one of the house-made pastas to taste their fresh, daily pasta preparations.
- Save room for the mascarpone (marscapone) cheesecake — many guests call it a standout dessert.
- If the dining room is full, sit at the bar: bartenders like Adam and Tyler are known for friendly service and creative cocktails (Adam’s Mint martini is a popular pick).
- Keep lunch in mind — the lunch specials (like minestrone with a panini) are well executed and offer a nice midday option.
- Ask for wine pairing help if you like a well-matched glass with dinner, as the staff is known for guiding guests through the wine list.
- Make a reservation, especially for dinner or weekend visits, since the dining room is small and can fill up quickly.
