Gift Tips

  • Start with the antipasto sampler to taste a variety of house-made items and shareable bites.
  • Order the mussels if you like bold garlic and saffron flavors—the dish is noted for a generous, garlicky sauce.
  • Try the Mare e Monti sandwich with smoked salmon, goat cheese, arugula, and black truffle aioli on focaccia for a standout lunch option.
  • Save room for dessert: the chocolate-hazelnut gelato and the tiramisu are popular choices with rich, authentic flavors.
  • Ask about gluten-free options like their GF ravioli if you need a gluten-free meal that still feels authentically Italian.
  • If you enjoy wine with dinner, ask about the Italian wine list to pair with your meal.
  • If you're planning an event, ask about catering for a convenient way to bring the restaurant's food to a group gathering.
  • Try the breakfast menu if you want something a little different from the usual Italian dinner experience.

Overpriced slop that goes unnoticed if you carry out and eat it with your eyes closed. The service is just about as bad as everywhere else. read review
