Gift Tips

  • Try the handmade pastas, especially the rigatoni bolognese, carbonara, or lasagna for a classic Italian meal.
  • Save room for tiramisu or affogato if you want a simple dessert finish.
  • If you enjoy steak or seafood, the New York strip, cioppino, scallops, and prawns are strong choices.
  • Stop by the cocktail lounge for late-night drinks, with service running until 2:00 am.
  • Ask about seasonal cocktails or wine pairings to match the richer pasta and seafood dishes.
