Gift Tips
- Start with the Capesante Dante Alighieri (bacon-wrapped scallops in lobster sauce) for a rich, crowd-pleasing appetizer.
- If you enjoy pasta, try the crepe-style Lasagne di Crespelle al Forno or the house-made pappardelle—both are hearty and great for leftovers.
- Save room for dessert—the homemade tiramisu is a signature finish and pairs nicely with a limoncello nightcap.
- On pleasant evenings, opt for patio seating to enjoy live music with your meal.
- Planning a celebration? Ask about reserving one of the mansion’s private rooms; there’s no additional charge for a private room and sizes range from small gatherings to larger parties.
