Gift Tips

  • Ask about the house-made pasta dishes such as rigatoni, ravioli, or seafood penne for a fuller Italian meal.
  • Save room for dessert, with tiramisu, cannoli, gelato, and choco lava cake all standing out as sweet finishes.
  • Consider sitting in the bar area if you want a cocktail with dinner or a more relaxed meal.
  • If dining with family, the kids’ menu makes it easy to bring along younger guests.
  • Start with the homemade bread and balsamic vinegar to make the meal feel more complete.
  • If you want a drink with dinner, ask about the wine list or a recommended white wine to pair with pizza or pasta.
