Gift Tips

  • Order one of the pasta dishes, such as the farfalle alla vodka or black linguine with shrimp, for a strong example of the kitchen’s style.
  • Ask the staff for recommendations on cocktails or wine, since the bar program is a good fit for a full dinner experience.
  • If you are dining with a group, consider sharing salads and starters, since several portions are large enough for the table.
  • For a relaxed visit, sit indoors near the open kitchen or choose outdoor seating downtown.
  • If you want a lighter meal, look at the salads and seafood plates for a fresh alternative to pizza and pasta.
  • Consider sitting at the bar if you like a more relaxed setting and want a closer look at the drink service.
  • Start with the bread service and olive tapenade, which make a simple and satisfying beginning to dinner.
  • If you like seafood, consider dishes such as the black linguine with shrimp, branzino, or the seafood pasta options.
