Pasta dishes include spaghetti Bolognese with veal and pork; oxtail rigatoni; gnocchi with wild mushrooms; and lobster and truffle risotto. Main courses include wild salmon with fennel and carrots, crispy pork belly and octopus, and roasted halibut with fava beans. Dishes from the wood fired grill include a whole branzino, charcoal grilled albacore tuna, duck with grilled gem lettuce and radishes, lamb two ways, and a variety of grilled steaks.
Desserts include baked strawberries with lemon shortbread and vanilla gelato; brown butter cake with blueberry sorbet; and a hazelnut mousse with a raspberry gel. The stylish bar offers a variety of artisan cocktails, specialty beers and wines, and an extensive grappa collection.
