Gift Tips
- Start with the house focaccia or bread service, which is a strong way to begin the meal.
- Try the handmade pasta dishes such as cacio e pepe, lasagna, or bolognese for the most classic Italian options.
- Save room for dessert and consider the pistachio ricotta cake or tiramisu.
- Ask the staff for menu guidance, since they are often noted for helpful recommendations and attentive service.
- If you enjoy a more complete meal, pair dinner with a glass from the wine list or a Peroni on draft.
- If you want something hearty, consider the veal saltimbocca, eggplant parmesan, or stuffed pork chop.
- Plan ahead for a busy evening, as the dining room is cozy and reservations can help secure a table.
- If you enjoy pizza, order a thin-crust pie and pair it with an antipasto or calamari for a full Italian meal.
